We have been in the middle of the center-left protest against the legal reform for many weeks, and there are no more sacred cows left to protect in the State of Israel.
Not the IDF and not pilots that are needed to protect the homeland.
Not doctors and not hospitals that are needed to protect human life.
Not cemeteries and not national ceremonies that are needed to preserve our national identity.

Neither police officers nor state laws which are required for internal stability and order.
Not protecting children with special needs and family members that is required to maintain a human image.
In Israel 2023, it turns out that when you are on the right side of the political map, everything is allowed, appropriate, and required for the founding struggle for the image of the country.
But in the way of the protesters, who are sure of the rightness of their way, they destroy everything that was built here with great effort for decades.
If the IDF is taken hostage in the struggle, and pilots who are required for urgent missions such as an attack across enemy lines feel the need to "give up" their reserve days, and the policemen kidnap in the streets in the name of "protecting the government" - then what is left, and what are you seeking to protect?
This morning we crossed another border.
Protesters broke through the fences of the cemetery in Kfar Giladi where the state memorial ceremony was held in memory of the martyrs of the battle at Tel Hai.
They climbed into the area with drums and boots, were furious at the policemen who did not allow them to enter and demonstrated in front of Minister Amichai Stein.
Of course, they will at least be able to point to one success - they managed to cancel the president's arrival at the state ceremony.
They profaned the sanctity of the class and the day.

The day after this protest, nothing will be left of the Israel we knew and loved.
The mutual guarantee, the evils, the entrepreneurship, the high-tech, the feeling of brothers in arms, brothers in trouble, the cemeteries that do not distinguish between blood and blood - everything is desecrated, shattered, destroyed.
Maybe the protest will succeed, and the legislation will be stopped (known spoiler: anyway no one planned to pass the entire reform and not as a hardship), but do any of the protesters stop for a moment to think how we can live here together again the day after?
Meital from Sderot who didn't come out to demonstrate and Yael from Tel Aviv?
Even so, the launch points between them were few even before, but they were able to meet at national events, at Shlomo Artzi's concerts, in joy over Israeli successes and in mourning for the best of our sons who are no longer there so that we can continue to live here.
And tomorrow, how will they be able to meet when the IDF is divided in two, and the pilots chose a side and the craftsmen who did not choose were denounced and immediately chose a side.
The leaders of this protest, including former and current politicians, know what the price is and they lead the crowd after them without stopping for a moment.
I am afraid that they are doing this with a clear understanding of the price of separation within Israeliness, and this is a price they want to pay.

They want a final division into "us and them".
For the right against the wrong, the children of the light against the ignorant.
This will be a great preparation for the next election.
A decisive blow to the low voting percentages in the strongholds of the left.
In the next elections, they hope that no one will remain indifferent.
The area woke up.
So cheers - you won the next election, but at this rate, whoever is in a hurry to destroy every good part of this nation and country in order to save the Supreme Court according to his method - will find himself without a country, without a people, without the IDF.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
