🏁 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.
There is an old saying: “If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck – it probably works for you.”
And in Israel in recent years, that duck is the radical discourse of the left: high-pitched voice, right-wing tone, flapping wings in hysteria – and in effect destroying everything that resembles a framework, responsibility, or a functioning state.
Coming this fall to a conflict zone near you: the geopolitical soap opera where yesterday’s enemy is tomorrow’s BFF – and the only constant is chaos.
“In the Middle East, peace isn’t the opposite of war—it’s just foreplay.”
As long as there are people here who continue to believe – not in the theory of binationality, but in the historical right of one small and troublesome people to return home – hope is not lost.
And deep down we still have a little bit of Jewish audacity, a little faith, and a little healthy cynicism – it will not disappear either.
Americans are now discovering what we in Israel learned a long time ago: tolerance is great – until someone takes advantage of it to take control of you.
Yes, the destroyers and ruiners are among us — in faculty lounges, film festivals, and NGOs with suspiciously generous grants.
But they won’t win.
Because even if they hate themselves, we love this country enough for both of us.
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.
Javier Millay is a phenomenon: a combination of a political comedian and a capitalist economist who believes in the ideology of personal freedom but is not ashamed to choose sides in the international arena. In an era when many leaders prefer to stand on the fence against anti-Semitism, Millay chose to climb the fence with an Israeli flag in one hand and a chainsaw in the other.
