Opinion Get off the roof: the opposition also has a responsibility Israel today

Lapid and Gantz should stop being led by the crowd and return to holding the reins. Set an agenda, not on the street but in the Knesset. Get off the roof


A lot of ink has been spilled on the call for talks, on finding a compromise that we can all live with, and of course condemning each of the parties that did not take the step towards the other side.

Those who accused the president of the country of the miracle of blasphemy on the grounds that he does not choose a side have also increased.

As if he holds some magic formula that will overcome the ambitions to correct the justice system on the right.

It's unpleasant to admit, but it's time to tell the truth: in the existing public atmosphere, there is no formula that will get us out of the mud we've entered.

The slime that is thrown from left to right and from right to left will not disappear.

Too many demons have come out of the bottle: the feeling of lordship on the left according to which they finance the voters of the right in the face of the calls to trample the fears of the left as was done on the other side in the days of Mapai and Oslo.

The ease with which the rise of Nazism is mentioned, the call for civil uprising, for war, and the calls to refuse an order to the IDF soldiers by some of the protest leaders show that we have gone too far. The days of Rabin's assassination and the demonstrations against the Oslo Accords are not too distant a reminder that harsh words spoken with pathos may lead to sleepy and dangerous fringes of actions from which it is difficult to return. It is enough for one person to interpret incorrectly, to want to take the decision into his own hands. No, it is not a matter of slandering the protesters, most of whom are good and concerned citizens. This is just reading the reality. It is enough to go back to the words of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak last week to wonder where he is going Wants to degrade us. What does he get out of promoting a civil war agenda?

There will also be no repair of publicity damage to the legal reform.

Netanyahu wants his ministers to "slam" back with the truth but he remembers too little too late.

The ultra-orthodox parties came to defeat Lieberman's legacy and the Likud came to make up for two years on the opposition benches and in general there are ideological plans to carry out on behalf of the voters and everything is done on the table and precisely by force because "it was our turn".

The militant rhetoric of the coalition members from the day they were elected and the desire to "pay back" for what was done in the Bennett-Lapid government achieved their goal: the citizens of Israel feel at war.

It's against each other.

Now calm the spirits?

Good that you remembered.

So what anyway?

When there is not enough trust for negotiations, when it is impossible to enter a room for fear of leaks, the coalition led by Netanyahu must present the softened reform.

To divide the reform into two: the laws that will be passed are promoted during discussions in the Constitution Committee and not in arguments, and those that will wait for a later stage are returned to the drawer.

Repairs are done in stages, not smashing the existing one.

And there is also responsibility for the opposition.

Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz must stop being led by the crowd and return to holding the reins.

to set an agenda, not on the street but in the Knesset to which they were elected for that purpose.

Soften legislation they oppose from the opposition benches with the parliamentary tools they have.

And you, at home and in the streets of the protest, just two words to you: get off the roof.

were we wrong

We will fix it!
