Benny Gantz identified a crowd of citizens who want something new and don’t really care what that new thing contains.
On Monday, he was against the nation-state law, but on Tuesday, he reportedly said he supports it. His political gymnastics are even more impressive than that of Yesh Atid chair Yair Lapid.
The effort to bring down the right-wing government and circumvent the ballot box is transparent.
Anyone who thinks or tries to convince others that the New Right will help the right succeed in the upcoming election is mistaken.
For the people of Israel, it is important that the right look ahead and embark on a campaign focused on state security, the integrity of the land and continued prosperity.
Sometimes, it seems as if the Israeli left longs for the return of Donald Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, more than they do in America.
The ongoing leaks on the investigations against the prime minister have severely undermined law-enforcement’s credibility in the eyes of the public.
Only the gullible could believe that it is a coincidence that the Israel Police’s recommendation that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be tried on charges of bribery was released at the same time as Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh resigned.
Instead of appreciating their good will, an appearance at the rally is perceived by members of the left as an apology from the right for something it never did. There is no reason to play into the left’s hypocritical hands.
The terrorist who killed his former colleagues was influenced by years of incitement against Jews and Israelis; by the sense that killing Jews will give him status in Palestinian society; and that becoming a martyr will sanctify him and pave his way to the Muslim Paradise.
The ongoing quarrels between the defense and security ministers should stop now, for the sake our country and its people.
At a time when we celebrate brotherhood, it is important that American Jews understand that the good of Israel should be a priority for them, too. If Trump is good for Israel, he is good for American Jews.
