agree with Pollard
in recent years Jonathan Pollard started speaking up in public and has even flirted with registering a political party to run for upcoming elections. I cannot really say that I have agreed with much of what he has said publicly in recent years. Everything I have heard him say was a bit too extreme for my pallette.
Finally today he said something I agree with...
in a radio interview with Kan, Pollard said that the entire current political leadership needs to go home and be replaced with new people with different perspectives and different views, a clean sweep across left, center, and right. Pollard also criticized PM Netanyahu despite previously being a supporter. Pollard criticized Netanyahu for what he called Netanyahu's "subservience" to Washington and says he was naive when he previously said he could not imagine a better Prime Minister - now he can imagine one.
I agree with Jonathan Pollard about this - I think all current political leadership should resign and go home, while new blood comes in to take over. I would love to see some of the heroes (soldiers, former hostages, etc) of the war (Charvoit Barzel, Tekuma, Oct 7 War, Simchat Torah War, whatever you want to call it) go into politics and into leadership of the country.
I actually agree with a slight caveat.
They should all go home and be replaced. Yes, the caveat being, there are a probably a few little known MKs/Ministers who don't do much and have little to no connection to the policies and failures that led to the October 7 massacre, but they should probably be going home for other reasons like not doing anything to justify their positions. And they are batel brov gadol, nullified by the overwhelming majority.

Heroes rarely make good politicians.

DeleteFormer hostages, why would they be qualified?
ReplyDeletenot every single former hostage./ just having been a hostage doesnt mean one should go into politics. some of the hostages showed exceptional leadership and bravery during their time in captivity and really came to the forefront.
DeleteAnd that qualifies them to run a government how?
