Opinion The threshold conditions for negotiations Israel today

For the left, this is a coup d'état, but before he demonstrates - he should look at the hole in his stomach with which the right has been walking since the disengagement, since the cancellation of the removal of the infiltrators


"In the current demonstrations, the association as the representative body of 400,000 male and female students in the State of Israel will not take sides and will not submit to political pressure."

This is what the chairman of the national student union, Elhanan Fellheimer, announced this week. He explained that the students hold a variety of political opinions and that he must respect everyone, but the message of equality did not help him.

His letter was mocked by leftists.

After all, it is unthinkable that there is a body that does not mobilize for the fight against Levin's legal reform.

The demand from the association to take one side, the "correct" side, is just like the uncompromising demand from the president of the country to side with the opponents of the government and the reform, a demand that is no less than a model of lack of awareness.

Yes, there is a second party here that supports reform.

He won the election because he is the majority.

The president must also give his positions a place. 

Public discourse in Israel has reached severe levels of polarization and hostility.

Those who expected, like me, that the establishment of a new government in Israel would calm the area and give the citizens sleepy days of routine scandals, were deceived.

The unequivocal victory of the Netanyahu bloc was a severe blow to the members of the center-left camp, and the government's sincere intention to implement the right-wing policy does not let them sleep.

But the left repeatedly falls into the same pit.

It is true that each side has harsh, irresponsible words.

But the call for civil disobedience by the founder of the Israel Democracy Institute, Dr. Eric Carmon, and the calling of the Minister of Justice a "criminal" by retired judge Aharon Barak, are statements that cross a red line. They do not seek to find a compromise but to make the situation worse, and above all they ignore the shortcomings, the strengths and the injustices that gave rise to the reform of the justice system.

Instead of encouraging arguments, we should encourage dialogue, but it starts with listening, listening deeply to where the other party is coming from.

The right side needs to understand that for the left side Levin's reform is a real regime revolution.

On the side for whom the State of Israel is more democratic than Jewish, there is a real fear that democracy will simply disappear.

The High Court is a bastion of secular leftist values. It is a gatekeeper against trends that the left fears. And what will happen when the High Court is weakened?

Who will protect the increasingly small leftist camp?

On the other hand, the left does not understand where this reform came from.

For him everything was fine until now.

He doesn't even know that hundreds of thousands of people are walking around with a hole in their stomach since the secession.

Hundreds of thousands of people who remember how the High Court of Justice did not protect any fundamental right of the displaced persons from Gush Katif, who lived there in the state's mission and were the KPAZ of the south.

They don't remember how the High Court of Justice didn't protect the minors arrested in the protests. They forgot that the justice system harassed a prime minister and stopped the investigations against him, just because he took the "right step".

The people of the left do not understand that there are those who suffer every day from the cancellation of the laws to remove infiltrators, and live in terror in south Tel Aviv.

He doesn't remember the Netiv Avot neighborhood, where houses were destroyed on 40 cm of construction deviations from the surface of state land, without mercy and without compromise.

The left also forgot the conscription laws that were canceled repeatedly, without considering the will of the people.

The left never paid attention to all these and many other injustices.

Over the years there have been attempts to moderate the power of the High Court, to balance, to speak - but this has never interested those in power.

So maybe now, when there is no choice, you should start realizing that there is a large part of the people who think differently.

Crowds who do not see the High Court as the protector of minorities, but as a bastion of the left. An institution that has become the final arbiter on every issue, even if the Knesset has decided otherwise, and always in the same direction.

You can and should go to demonstrations, this is an important step in a democratic country.

But that's not all.

this is only the beginning.
