So what has changed since the last election?
The slogans have changed… the faces have changed… the promises have been rebranded.
🏁 Politics in Israel is neither hell nor heaven… it is a circus.
But what a wonderful, colorful, crazy circus – which every now and then, in the middle of everything, manages to touch the heart and change reality.
After we got to know the parties, the politicians, the journalists, and the public – it’s time to talk about the most Israeli phenomenon after hummus and traffic jams on Highway 1: political cyclicality. That eternal time loop in which everything changes – in order to stay exactly the same.
The public is the sovereign, the king, the final arbiter – and also the one who will regret it in three months.
He is cynical but naive, nervous but indifferent, and most importantly – he is never at fault.
Superpowers? We have them. Survivability? Plenty. Bizarre costumes? Every Friday morning in central Tel Aviv.
And who needs Marvel when you have the guy from the neighborhood who insists on fixing the air conditioner with flip-flops?
The biggest problem with Israeli politics is that we are all, how can we say, a little used to thinking in terms of tribes. There is the “white tribe,” the “second Israel,” the “settlers,” the “leftists,” the “progressives,” the “ultra-Orthodox,” the “national religious,” the “Russians,” the “Arabs,” the “Druze,” and the “kibbutzniks with the open shirts who like to make fun of everyone.”
Welcome to Israel. A country with seven million political commentators and zero stable governments.
