The right-wing desire to return to power rests on three things: the media, the army, and the government, all things stem from good intentions, and all are necessary milestones on the way to power.
Milestones where you can also sequence the route to the crash.
The original right did not ask for a right-wing media, nor a right-wing army, nor Menaomi Shelton.
The ideological source aspired to establish fair media, a moral and ethical army and functioning government offices.
The footnotes added over time are meant to balance the ills that have attacked each of these areas, and there is no reason to deviate from the pure intention just to avenge the distortions created here in recent years, and even more so under the government of change.

When David Amsalem shouted from the bottom of his heart in the Knesset plenum just a year ago that "everything you do we will give you back", he probably did not mean that the one who will pay the price will be the voter.
Amsalem was right in that the group that the apartment removed from the Knesset committees of Likud MKs should be taught so that it would be more convenient for them to rule; that the parties that spoke against bribery, fraud and breach of trust, but extorted the public purse and celebrated in offices and titles and appointments, should be expelled from power; that their faces should be exposed The real Naftali Bennett, who didn't even say goodbye to his constituents in an SMS - but in an article in the "New York Times", just after he got what he always wanted: a line in the KOH with the inscription "RAM". But hey, all this has already happened.
Norwegian diet
The people had their say, and chose a new vehicle.
This composition is supposed to clean the dirt, not deepen it.
When the Likud seeks to erase the disgrace of the change government by increasing the key of the Norwegian law from three - five ministers to seven ministers - this is not an amendment.
This is an injury that means more officials and more budgets and more offices.
Even before the change government, it was funny to split government ministries into the minister of water and the minister of digital and the minister for aerobic circles.
It's time to stop with this comic-tragic script.
The new composition should clean the dirt, not deepen it.

In order to get out of the crooked norm of splitting government ministries and an illogical key of ministers, you need to balance: if the first month of an overweight person's diet starts with 800 calories a day - then the first term after an inflated government like that of Lapid and Bennett should start with one meat out of every five MPs
Want a Norwegian law by force to reduce the burden on ministers?
Shrink the key here as well.
True, the dignity will be damaged, but wow - how many compliments you will receive when the suit fits you snugly, but snugly, according to your measurements.
Yair Lapid appointed in 1976 senior officials in the Foreign Service of the State of Israel.
It didn't cost the citizens more, he didn't invent offices out of thin air.
Even in the army, politicization needs to be balanced, but the way to do this is not to drift in a certain direction.
Let the soldiers win
Didn't you like Gantz and Lapid taking pictures with soldiers?
Don't like Ben Gvir distributing videos with their parents.
The soldiers were not allowed to take part in the expulsion from Gush Katif, and in the expulsion of the settlers from Sinai (who remembers?).
A soldier is not supposed to say what his opinion is, and which politician he voted for so that "he will already come and make order here".
Just as Yair Lapid should not make cynical use of soldiers and take pictures with them during a campaign, so it is not good for a politician to take a picture with the family of a soldier who was tried.
Support them secretly, give them advice - great.
Otherwise, the one who loses in the end is the same guy from Givat, who until a year ago was a minist and until a second ago was anonymous.
A politician who takes a picture with the family of a convicted soldier does not do well.

So it's true, the army needs to make sure that the norm of anarchists disrespecting the soldiers, approaching them, laughing at them and photographing them on a regular basis - will stop.
When tourists make faces at soldiers at Buckingham Palace, it's disgusting - but not life-threatening;
Citizens who disrespect a police officer in the USA or take pictures of a soldier while performing his duty in Europe, do not get their cell phone back. There is no reason for our sons to be treated differently and for us to put up with that. And still: a soldier is not a political entity.

The cleansing of the army from politics will not be accepted by a melee of politicians and generals, who will anyway meet in the tabernacle in a few years.
It only makes the situation worse.
Shut up, don't make political capital with statements.
Hebron is not a scene of conflict, certainly not on the backs of our children, and also in the name of the army's values.
Mobilized communication
In 2017, Netanyahu closed the Broadcasting Authority, and now they are threatening to close the Public Broadcasting Corporation on his behalf.
On the one hand - what is the corporation worth if we don't control it?
On the other hand - a party establishes a huge corporation with millions and closes another, and immediately regrets that this is what it did?
It is likely that the desire to close the corporation is only a threat - after all, they did not close Galach, nor will they - but why cancel public broadcasting instead of fixing it?
There is no doubt that a government should appoint managers to the bodies it budgets for.
Likud is a liberal party.
It is able to formulate an ethics of pluralistic communication, and apply the principles of the free market also to the entities under its control.
Balanced and professional systemic repair - not plugging personal holes.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
