Quote of the Day
Our enemies are over the border, on the other side of the fence, not in our house. The division of identities between sectors and camps, Right or Left, need to disappear from our lexicon. This has been the result of the last decade of politics and it has not worked! This has only brought us to the abyss socially, economically, and in security.

I agree. I think the goal should be for a national unity government after the next elections, whenever they will be and no matter who heads the largest party. Nobody likes a good troll more than me but the politics in government has gotten so divisive in recent years that this is the most dangerous threat to Israeli society, I think, and is more important to repair than probably most other issues. The only way is by working together in good faith.

ReplyDeleteSecond, remember Charles Krauthammer's famous quote and you'll understand the problem. Conservatives think liberals are stupid but liberals think conservatives are evil. When liberals are in power, conservatives want them out because they don't want idiots running things. But when conservatives are in power, the left sees it as a righteous crusade to take back power from the forces of darkness. I can live with stupid but I can't live with evil and Bibi has been defined by the left as evil.
