The two anxious comments for the agenda:
1. If a foreigner had been caught up in the victory celebrations of Shas and Torah Judaism at the end of the elections, he might have thought that the existential decree hovering over the ultra-orthodox sector and threatening to destroy it completely, was the tax imposed by Finance Minister Lieberman on sweet and disposable drinks. The achievement with a sugary drink in one go!" shouted a campaigner close to Derai in a snoring voice.
Gafni also addressed the issue of the sweet drink in the victory celebrations of the overthrow of the government together with the "working ultra-Orthodox" group.
"They didn't buy less sweet drinks because of the price increase, Lieberman's goal was to hurt the ultra-orthodox public," he claimed.
MK Yariv Levin went further, and in an interview with "Kikar HaShabbat" he said with embarrassing seriousness: "The ultra-orthodox public has gone through a terrible period in the last year and a half, really abuse and intentional abuse.
They took away from the children the little sweet drink they drink."
Even if Lieberman's motives were not pure at the time of imposing the tax and stemmed from a desire to burden the ultra-Orthodox sector, and even if one can understand the enthusiasm to run and cancel all the annihilation laws he decreed, one can invest some thought before presenting the sweet drink as the pretext of everything.
Do the ultra-Orthodox children need this garbage in high doses?
Isn't it embarrassing to present Coke as an essential commodity, as a symbol, as the face of the struggle?
According to the Ministry of Health website, there are half a million type 2 diabetics in Israel, and according to estimates by the National Diabetes Council, there are another 200,000 people with undiagnosed and untreated diabetes.
The ultra-Orthodox community won 18 mandates, and there is no doubt that it is becoming an increasingly significant and influential factor in the state's leadership.
Is protecting the planet from the ecological damage of the disposable is a dirty word?
Let us separate politics from life itself.
True, the public is not educated by imposing taxes, but by awareness, but with your excited calls to jump on the shelves of the sweet drink in the supermarket, you are raising awareness in the opposite direction.
An ultra-orthodox child may think that drinking sugary orange juice is a mitzvah at Shulchan Aruch.
Afraid to be predatory
2. Michael Shemesh, the political reporter for "Kan Haudas", reported after the elections that Deri's associates claim that he will be the balancing factor regarding the judicial system.
Similar reassuring messages came from the mouths of ultra-Orthodox and religious journalists and members of the Knesset, who devoted their columns and interviews over the weekend to reassuring the "terrified left" of the halachic state that had sprung up overnight before their eyes.
In fact, the need to calm down and issue statements of "you have nothing to worry about", the ultra-Orthodox members of the Knesset admit to the left's accusations that they are violent, and do so as reactionaries and dragoons and not as leaders of an agenda.
A well-known joke tells about a boy who woke up in the morning and was slapped by his mother.
To his question, "What did I do?", she answered: "It's about what else you will do."
When the left came to power, did it care if you were afraid?
What are you afraid of?
They did not see eye to eye and legislated on steroids according to their worldview.
They came to change, not to write reassuring letters of reconciliation to the people of Israel.
The people asked for governance.
The ultra-Orthodox public demands legislation and regulation on issues that are close to their heart.
Not sweet and disposable drinks, but yes the conscription law, for example, and the amendment of the reforms in conversion and kosher.
Sources from the negotiations between Netanyahu and representatives of the ultra-Orthodox leaked that Netanyahu is inclined to postpone the issue of the escalation clause.
It's time to raise your head and go to the end, without being afraid of the cries of the left about the end of democracy and the darkness you are bringing across the abyss.
Tell them that an overreach clause has existed in the Basic Law for almost 30 years, it was passed by a man named Yitzhak Rabin to keep Shas in the Oslo coalition. The claim that an overreach clause is the end of democracy is populist and logically and legally absurd.
You had a whole year to learn how to legislate without apologizing.
Now it's your turn.
