There is something undeniably hilarious about an entire political, legal, and media ecosystem dedicating itself for years to bringing down one man,
only to discover he keeps standing there like Gulliver while tiny furious politicians throw mud at his shoes.
🏁 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.
Thank you, Donald, for reminding us that Zionism is not an apology, and that it is possible to defend the country with a smile, with humor – and with a few good jabs at a system that prefers to get closer.
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.
