Amsalam, you will land in Israel time Israel today

2023-02-16T22:29:34.915Z


In Minister Amsalem's imaginary Rolex world, anyone who opposes the government is "Israel first", and hence also a leftist.


Amsalem's Rolex and Mercedes speech expresses exactly what hurts here in the stomach.

Amsalem, with a luxury watch on his hand, scolds people who left the house to demonstrate.

In my estimation, the vast majority of them don't have a Mercedes or a Rolex - and yet, with an image in politics, you can't argue.

The government, in Amsalem's eyes, is the second Israel - even when its people are dressed in luxury suits, live in luxury houses and carry luxury bags and watches.

In his view, anyone who opposes the government is Israel the first - and hence also a leftist.

In this imaginary world of Amsalem, we are already a week into the Protective Wall 2 operation, as promised by Ben Gvir.

Our personal security improved, Khan al-Ahmar was evacuated and the governors returned to the Negev and the Galilee.

And all this - only because Amsalem, Smotrich and Ben Gvir are in the place where decisions are made.

In that imaginary world, no Jews were evacuated this week and there were no serious terrorist attacks.

All those of the previous government.

Now - law and order.

Or sometimes they just correct other people's mistakes.

Live in an imaginary world.

And the truth is that I am tired of cooperating with the political molds into which they try to cast us.

A cynical world of false images, where the infidel leader is God's representative, night is day, and whoever says it shorter and repeats the message more - is right.

I have gained enough experience in politics to know that this is how it works.

There is something perverse about having to define yourself not through the question of who you are, but through the question of who you are against.

Amslam against the Rolexes, the leftists and the Ashkenazim, because in his eyes they all showed up in a demonstration against the government of which he is a part.

He is in favor of Ashkenazi Rolexes, if they are in his party.

Anyone who tries to find logic behind the order of political or economic left and right will not find it.

In the test of the result, in the last 20 years it is even the other way around.

The absurdity is so great that the Likud of today explains the legal revolution through the disengagement that the Likud of the time led.

"Where were you then?" someone asked me defiantly this week.

I explained that I had arrived at Gush Katif, but perhaps you should Google and find out where her party was, including many of its representatives today.

The fault line is not policy positions or the result test - it is just a gut and a feeling.

There is discrimination in the State of Israel, and there is a lot to correct in the representation of the Mizrahi community.

This is a national mission.

There are also tribes and there is a socio-economic division, but Amsalem and others like him adopt the approach of the progressive left in the USA. Shas Israel - the second one crowned with Rolexes - is today the barrier to the integration of Mizrahi girls in Ashkenazi educational institutions.

The fear of the Israel Association brings them to bow their heads.

The Likud and its natural partners are the ones who perpetuate this.

In my eyes, I am a Muslim, I am also the first Israel.

Why?

Because my grandfather came from Poland after leaving his whole family there, and my grandmother survives from Romania.

My political positions as a right-wing person are not important.

My actions as an economic rightist, free market and successful reforms from my time as Minister of Communications - are not relevant.

The only thing that matters is whether I support Likud and its leader, or not.

Therefore the battle is already lost in my eyes.

I see no need to apologize for Israel, where I come from.

A religious Zionist family living in poverty in the diaspora and with great effort to earn a living in Israel.

He does not apologize for the state's view of the nation of Israel, the need for the integrity of the nation and the land, the unity and importance of the state's institutions.

By the way, I have a running watch.

It's time to stop explaining which Israel you are.

If someone wants to fix it - I'm in favor of it.

Want to take a spin?

Let him look for another Israel.

We are brothers, as Begin said.

were we wrong

We will fix it!
