Opinion The left is once again afraid to face being Jewish Israel today

2022-12-08T13:10:13.588Z


The Israeli left is terrified of the only identity that has been imposed on it like a tub. "So like this, we want 15 wins a year minimum... 15, yes? If not - we will burn the club down. We also want to determine, once and for all, who will be the players, who will be the coaches, who will be the result, and who will be the weather" . "And if it is not given to you?"

"So like this, we want 15 wins a year minimum... 15, yes? If not - we will burn the club down. We also want to determine, once and for all, who will be the players, who will be the coaches, who will be the result, and who will be the weather" .


"And if it is not given to you?"


"We will burn down the club"


(Songs and Goals, The Pale Tracker, 1980)

The immortal sketch "Songs and Gates" by the pale tracker was written by the late Yossi Banai, the eldest son of the ultimate representative Mizrahi family of the first Israel. He mocked the violent, barbaric, hot-headed Beitar Jerusalem fans.

Miraculous wonders, in Israel 2022 those who threaten for real - and not in a skit - to burn down the club are precisely the losing elites.

A year and a half ago, the government of change and healing was established, and yes, we fought against it in spades.

Head to head from morning to evening.

But for one moment no one called for civil unrest, God forbid not to enlist, or a tax revolt as proposed this week by Minister of Finance and Stimulation Lieberman.

And these are not tweeters with a light finger on the keyboard reserve who call to burn the club, but the leaders of the other camp.

The Prime Minister (still) Yair Lapid breaks the rules of the game and threatens as a cover.

Even in his threats he is hollow and unoriginal.

He contradicts himself from her gender and her life.

The president of the state of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai, was not confused when he said in an interview that he does not rule out a blood clash in the future.

Former Chief of Staff Dan Halutz threatened in an interview with Network B with a civil uprising. Ehud Barak and Gadi Eisenkot threatened to take a million people to the streets. That's a million people, that's why the whole country will leave the house, and it's a bloody clash. On the eve of the disengagement, Ami Ayalon proposed a second Altlana, and Meir Shalev wrote " Only one weapon is missing today in the IDF's weapons arsenal, and that is the holy cannon."

How sick the left is of it, from Stalin to Altena.

Missing the holy cannon.

MK Ram Ben Barak brought his version of Yitzhak Ben Aharon '77: "So what if there were elections? The street is the judge?".

Do you understand?

The people will not decide for the people!

It seems Ram got a little confused.

The street is the voter, it is the sovereign.

The people went out into the street, went to the polling station and voted.

But the elites, as in their holy way, are less respectful of democratic choice.

For them, the sovereign is unnecessary if the sovereign does not think like them.

So we understand the story, and not for the first time, all that interests the left-wing/hegemony/old elite camp is absolute control over the centers of power it considers to be taboo in its name - the judicial system, the military, the media, academia.

The excuse for the serious threats to break the tools this time is to protect the systems from the Halacha state.

Admit that you missed the religion monster coming back from the frost.

All that remains is to sail to the realms of fantasy, to issue horror scripts that will provide new materials for the mind engineering mill.

In two weeks we will celebrate Hanukkah.

The Maccabees did not fight only the Greeks but the Greeks.

So yes today, we are in yet another never-ending round of ancient internal struggle within the nation, between the particular and the universal.

This is a unique Jewish pathology, self-hatred.

An eternal internal struggle between the acceptance of the vocation and the yoke and an equally Jewish desire to be a nation like all nations.

Who will the Jew who hates his identity blame?

Those who in their identity and appearance symbolize the classic Jew - the religious, the right-wing.

Members of his people who do not wipe off the tangible representation of their Jewishness and nationality and insist on spoiling for him and denying him the noble normalization.

"The Jew who abandons his faith is in a situation similar to that of a snail who abandons his shell, he is still a snail"

And as we know, Jewish history is full of desperate attempts to shed Jewish existence from us.

It ended in Treblinka.

The Jew discovers that despite the contempt for his Judaism, there are forces standing against him - be it murderous Islam or European anti-Semitism - that hate him with a metaphysical hatred.

In 1920, the very secular Jew Albert Einstein defined it well in his reply to a Jewish weekly, that "the Jew who abandons his faith is in a situation similar to that of a snail that abandons its shell, he is still a snail."

And on this dissonance the virus of progress dresses itself with powerful weapons.

Identity politics.

It's no longer just the old "Dross Kol Doss" and "Pious Pistachio" and "We are Jews just like you" in past versions of religious hatred, but it is becoming part of a broader revolutionary worldview.

Progress is another incarnation of revolutionary Marxism, born in the 1960s with Marcuse.

Instead of a class war through a Western proletariat (who was not interested in the poisonous communist concoction), transfer the class war to identity politics whose goal is the same, to dismantle and shatter the national, religious and social identity.

As if the other way around, but the same dangerous goal.

The old communism promoted a supranational identity, while the new communism promotes the dissolution of everything: nationality, religion, family.

The messianic goal is a utopian society run by an omniscient government.

Utopia.

And woe betide us from utopias.

The Israeli elite is the bearer of progress.

Every grape that you stick in America comes here after a few years.

And we are there.

But with us it is not clear if the useful idiots of the progressives understand where these concepts are leading them.

They demand to shed all primitive religious symbols.

and stop bothering them about Jewish identity.

The secular Israeli left, following its progressive relatives overseas, all imitative of course, boasts in the last decade of creating an inflation of identities - cisgender, bigender, mix gender, transgender, cross gender.

But he is terrified of the only identity that has been imposed on him as a tub.

The Jewish identity terrifies his sleep, haunting him, causing him to glance fearfully at the mirror, lest he find his nemesis there - the exiled Jew with the yellowing beard, leaning over a Gemara page in one of the cloisters in Galicia or in a Beit Midrash in Fes.

At the moment they are in a stormy discussion about gender equality and LGBTI people, against religious coercion. The grandson clause in the law of returns is driving their minds. How can it be imagined to prevent the grandson of a Jew or a reform convert from Wisconsin from immigrating to Israel?

But notice who is missing from the cries of the left this time.

the Arabs

The Israeli left finds it difficult to recognize the fact that the Law of Return is a racist law, if we erase every Jewish religious symbol from us, how will the Law of Return stand?

If the Jewishness of the country is a matter of no value and meaning, by what right do we bring up a grandson of a Jew or someone who just breathed next to a Jew - and not, for example, relatives of Israeli Arabs who were deported in '48?

If progress collapses religious and national identity, Israel will lose its justification for existence.

were we wrong

We will fix it!
