You must have heard that MK Mossi Raz told a student at the Blich school to "shut up".
To tell you the truth, I didn't really faint when I heard this violent statement, because such things happen.
I mean, it's not pleasant to see a politician lose control and it's not pleasant at all to hear a violent expression, especially towards a young boy, but oh well.
Happens.
Politicians are human beings.
All this is true for a normal place and a normal conversation.
Since we are in an abnormal place where the discourse is very broken, we need to talk, and talk a lot, about this statement by MK Mossi Raz.
But we should not talk about the statement, but about its media resonance and the effect such a statement has on the Israeli listener.
Outspoken statements by politicians are an almost daily affair with us, and there is a tendency to be shocked by them.
The point is that the shock is usually reserved for statements that come from the right, where you can hear about bibliography and flowery language and low language, and this while the absolute majority of profanity these days belongs to the left side of the map.
Just from the last two days we can cite as an example Raz's "shut your mouth", Lieberman's comparisons to Goebbels and Stalin and the multitude of colorful attacks by Zehava Galon, which personally evokes the deepest pain and disappointment in me.
So why don't the heads of the syphs move from such a curse?
And the answer is, apart from the media's hypocrisy and double standards, deeply psychological, and it is related to something that always happened with a couple of our friends, at least according to the husband's version.
When he speaks badly, it's because he's from ****.
When she speaks badly it was because his behavior made her speak badly.
That is, he is from ****.
What was Mossi Raz's reaction to this inappropriate statement?
"Wherever the Kahanists riot, Meretz will be there to block them."
What this means, actually, is that there are those who, by virtue of their status and opinion, every word they say is actually citrus nectar and cologne.
There is no violent "shut up" law (of the right) like an obstructive "shut up" law (of the left).
The word is not the problem, not the context is the problem, and not the fact that in front of our eyes is an elected official who loses control and insults a child who annoys him.
The only thing is who is the one uttering the blasphemy, and where does it belong.
Dodi Amsalem says "shut up" because he is a rude, foul-mouthed person who degenerates politics into the abyss, and Mosi Raz sings "shut up" because the water has reached the limit and something must be done.
And what is terrible is that the Israeli ear, which has been educated for years on this folly, often automatically makes this shocking distinction.
Otherwise, the entire Jura, which has recently flowed here from the Meretz area, would not have passed in silence.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
