These days we see before our eyes dangerous self-interested attempts by prominent public figures - among them a former prime minister, a former commander of a general patrol and the current prime minister to urge senior state officials to resign, in order to receive applause among a certain niche and, please, a demand from the "public" to leave En masse ("a million people") to the squares.

 So atone for you, there were elections a minute and a half ago.

There is no pleasant way to announce this - there was a decision.

There is a winning side, there is a losing side.

that's how life is.

Ask Ronaldo, De Bruyne and even Neymar.

Sometimes you lose.

You also need to know how to lose.

The attempts to criticize the elections "So what if there were elections?

Is the street the judge?" said Ram Ben Barak, "the results are legal, but illegitimate" said Ehud Barak, and more) they are de facto an aggressive, dangerous and downright frightening pursuit of Israeli democracy, in general.

Like the never-ending Norwegians and the rapacity in the Knesset - these things tend to turn on you as soon as you take them out of their heads.

And in general - the last high-ranking official to publicly resign here at a significant moment of truth was Udi Adiri, the former director general of the Ministry of Energy and who headed the negotiating team for the talks between Israel and Lebanon, and this happened around the strategic agreement reached here with the transfer of very considerable water areas from Israel to the state An enemy, without the Knesset, in clear opposition to the legal advisor's recommendation - which the same people are now condemning so much, who by the way did not applaud that senior official who resigned.

As I recall, the same agreement was not even brought to the Knesset for approval because Prime Minister Lapid claimed that "the opposition is promiscuous" and thus trampled on an important democratic principle, the kind of principles he now complains about.

And in general, regarding the statement "we will take a million people to the streets" that was thrown into the air as if we had not gone to the polls a minute and a half ago, it is a statement that, in my view, disdains the protestors, perhaps even more than it disdains democracy itself.

In the art of war, one of the well-known things is that you don't win a repeated war with the same means.

Looking at the protesters as marionettes that can be 'taken out' by a whim, shows a disconnection from the field, more than a connection to reality, and above all a lack of recognition of the loss and tools that can really make a difference, such as looking inward, drawing honest lessons and applying the lessons, and then, perhaps, to gain some trust back.

At the end of the event, most of the move before our eyes, unfortunately, can only be described, as we say in business - as money, and nothing else.

We've already seen it before - the losing team tries to shoot arrows in another direction, like saying to a child, "Hey, look there - here's a balloon" - to suppress and distance the losing narrative, the failure and the arrows from shooting in.

It's a particularly cute trick - but won't hold water.

Friends - instead of trying to incite officials, put pressure on judges, senior police officers and create media pressure on a changing figure - what a decade ago was former Yesha Secretary General Naftali Bennett / the proselytizing campaign, and now is about Smotrich / Avi Maoz, it would be better if you use tools others and internalize lessons.

But it seems that even this time, those who frequently complain about intimidation campaigns, do not know how to produce a campaign, other than an intimidation campaign.

Did one side win?

Let him work.

Will prove himself?

magnificent.

Fail - it will be your turn to try, and maybe even win.

Because even forever you need to know.

were we wrong

We will fix it!
