Are the Israeli people sick? According to Haaretz Columnist Gideon Levy, who was unsurprisingly not pleased with the results of Tuesdays elections in Israel, the answer is yes. In an opinion column he published shortly after the results were announced, Levy called for the replacement of the Israeli people for re-electing Benjamin Netanyahu.
Levy wrote that, the first conclusion that comes to my mind two minutes after the release of the election results is particularly depressing: We have to replace the people. [What's necessary] is not more elections to change the leadership of the State, but rather a general election to elect a new people of Israel and to improvise, said Levy. He added that, the country urgently needs this. It will be difficult for it to continue under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, who it looks like will be forming the next government.
Levys disappointment with Israelis resulted from their overwhelming choice of Netanyahu over his chief rival Isaac Herzog to lead the next government. Levy noted that, if, after six years of nothing; six years of disseminating fear and anxiety, hatred and despair and just that this is the peoples choice, then the people is very sick.
Levy was unrelenting in his scathing criticism of the Israeli people, saying if after all that has been revealed in the last months, if after all that has been written and said, if after all this, this phoenix this Israeli phoenix was able to once again rise from the ashes and be re-elected; if after all of this the Israeli people elected him for another four years, then something is seriously broken in the people, something that may be beyond repair.
In his opinion, Netanyahu suits the Israeli people, and the people of Israel are suited to Netanyahu. The lot had not yet been cast yesterday, but it foreshadowed a direction, and that direction is that a significant portion of the Israeli people has completely disconnected from reality.
According to Levy, the Israeli people re-elected Netanyahu as a result of years of indoctrination and incitement, leading them to say yes to those who say no to a Palestinian state and what is this? And what the hell, yes, dear Likud voters? He opined that this was a vote for another 50 years of occupation and ostracism. Do you really believe in that?
Levy did not stop there. He claimed Israel was on its way to becoming an apartheid state under Netanyahus leadership, as a result of these elections, and that it was now only a matter of time before the IDF launched its next savage attack against Gaza.
Levy ended his op-ed by saying that, an election like this must be viewed seriously, and with an election like this, it is very difficult to hope for the best. All thats left is the losers hope: that with one more term for Netanyahu, at least the world will be awakened to act.
Notice this new, chilling formula..?
Same-same with USA:
The Elected in their disgust are rising up and throwing out the ELECTORATE.
They intend to REPLACE us.
Their plan is to keep their failed formulas, and instead run them on a completely new population having ZERO experience with holding their leaders accountable.
THAT is how they intend to remain the same —by REPLACING us.
Does he mean like the way the American people are being replaced?
This was my exact reaction as well, gaijin. This is exactly what is being done here.
I never understood why Israel had so many socialists and worse.
Traitor. His hope is to turn the world against his own country. Sick. Leftists are truly sick in the head.
You are now a subject.
Time to kick this loser out and send him over to Syria where his liberal politics can get him an interview with oh say “ISIS TERRORISTS”
Didn’t Hitler try that? The left are facists. It seems obvious, doesn’t it?
Is this from The Onion?
If not, it’s not far from the position of the New York Times which is moving swiftly towards applying collective guilt against the Israeli majority.
Cue up “Das Horst Wessel Lied”.
Gideon Levy is one of the worst extremists at Haaretz.
One gets the feeling that nothing about Israel makes him happy.
Leftists seem to think the world revolves around them and Levy is no exception.
It never occurs to him most Israelis are just fine with the way things are.
It’s transparent, and working.
There is no way to turn this around without a massive uprising of 100% of the 47%. Violence may be necessary, as well as justifiable.
well, in the us, we had, angry white males.
The irony is that if Gideon Levy were to leave Israel and move to the “enlightened” country of his choice, he would find that his new progressive neighbors are viciously anti Semitic and would hate his guts. Then he would get a bit homesick.
The Israeli people must be replaced. I think that’s what the Palestinians have in mind.
No kidding.
This is what marxists do the world over. When they can’t get their way they kill their opposition.
Police detain Gideon Levy of Ha’aretz in Samaria
How much did this “gentleman” get from the Obama anti-Netanyahu slush fund?
