stop bluffing

The Haredi dailies, the newspapers like Yated Neeman, Hamodia and Hamevaser (and maybe others?) have run a "kol korei" from the Moetzes, the Council of Sages, calling upon the people to gather wherever they are and have a prayer rally to annul the evil decrees against the Torah (referring to the Draft Exemption law), using a lot of verbiage connected to Purim saying Taanis Esther is a day for prayer, etc...





While tefilla is always good, I have another suggestion for them that might work more immediately, and it is a solution they themselves came up with, suggested and have bandied about for many years already...

That would be, leaving the government because what they were promised has not been given. 

the Haredi parties have been threatening this government time after time since it was formed a little over two years ago that if the Draft Law they want is not passed by a variety of deadlines, they would collapse the government. And every time Netanyahu calls their bluff and fails to pass a draft law for them by each deadline, they decide not to collapse the government because they want other things as well that they would have to risk losing by collapsing the government. So the government continues to think they are not serious and keeps promising the passage of the law and just regularly moving the goalposts, and the Haredi parties continue to just accept it despite their regular threats (though recently they have also stopped threatening, and only Minister Goldknopf has continued with the threats).

If they would carry through on their threats they might be taken more seriously next time. And also, collapsing the government would give them more time and kick the can a little further down the road, which is something they have been doing for a long time.

Quote of the Day

[Ronen Bar, head of the Shabak] has committed a targeted assassination to the concept of personal responsibility and is fortifying himself in his seat in an undemocratic way. If I were the Prime Minister, I would immediately fire him. That he has not yet been fired is a sign of weakness of the political class.

  -- Minister Betzalel Smotritch


to note, I am favor of everyone involved with any responsibility resigning and going home, leaving public life. That includes heads of the military, heads of the various security services, and heads of the political leadership. Everyone. 

That being said, I find it, once again, highly hypocritical of Smotritch and of many others in the government to be strongly pushing all these resignations and/or firings for everyone else, and also pushing to get investigations and conclusions finalized, while they themselves sit tightly in their own chairs and refuse to allow an investigation to even begin into the entire picture and into the political side specifically (ie army investigated itself but didnt look at the political side, shabak investigated but didnt look at political, etc). And specifically saying the above, what a lack of self-awareness. Bar wont quit so it is a targeted strike on personal responsibility? Maybe it is but Smotritch also hasnt quit, and he even said a few times they in government including himself are all responsible.  he is right about Ronen Bar but he is being super-hypocritical, as is everyone else in the government who pushes this all on everyone else while refusing to allow the government to be looked at.

embarrassing (for the country) visit

Japan's Ambassador to Court, errr I mean to Israel, showed up in court today to watch a bit. During a break in the proceedings PM Netanyahu went over and chatted with the Ambassador..


Even Amit Segal posted the image with the description of it being embarrassing.

Netanyahu should have resigned when indicted. He should have worked to clear his name, and if he would he could then run again for politics. Deep state, blah blah blah. Others were indicted and resigned.
