A coalition bent on election rigging

By considering a bill that singles out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Bennett and Lapid are undoing Israel's democracy.

 

By proposing a bill that would ban Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from running in future elections the so-called "pro-change coalition" has proved that it is an election-rigging bloc.

A law that targets one individual makes it clear that an anti-democratic government is about to impose itself on the people of Israel. They are assassins of the people's will. Unfortunately, there is no law yet against such a type of assassination. For the past year and a half, left-wing incitement organizations in black shirts and with black flags rocked the country at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.

It was an anarchist revolutionary movement led by individuals who seek to oppress large sectors of the Israeli public. If such a government comes to power, it will normalize the madness unleashed by former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, and the Balfour demonstrators.

Netanyahu is not a threat to the emerging coalition. He is the winner of the latest elections. Gideon Sa'ar, Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Lieberman, and Lapid stole the elections. Each one misled their voters, some by promising not to sit with Lapid because they knew the nation dislikes him. But in a democracy, you cannot simply get rid of someone through legislation.

One can already hear the fabric of Israeli society beginning to fray. The public will not agree to this, and it will revolt.

Media reports expose Bennett's true colors. He does not sound like a would-be prime minister but as one threatening Netanyahu, asking him to go so that the "change coalition" won't have to legislate him out of politics for good. That is why this whole thing reeks of a coup.
