Elections

To the Almug

The rabbi here was asked for his opinion and this is the rabbi's opinion and the subject is tiresomely trite. But you should not like him and do not listen to him. The rabbi does not like the existing reality (and rightly so) and also thinks that it cannot be worse. And there is justice in the name of worse, one can always perpetuate mediocrity. But the damage that the left is currently likely to cause has a good chance of bringing the country to thousands of deaths and a deep economic abyss. First of all, the right is not corrupt. The rabbi is simply carried away by the media that says so (and of course it cannot be otherwise). What he calls corruption are things of human nature (meaning that the human race is corrupt. Which I do agree with except for a few individuals who truly fear God) and of course the media as a shaper of public opinion uses the shortcomings of the human race to its advantage and this is in cases where it does not explicitly lie but simply distorts the reality that it has been created. And in addition, the left is no less corrupt (it's simply not in power. But I remind you of the days of Mapai) and it is also righteous, which means a kind of evil (I definitely believe that there are traitors among them who are not aware of it. That is, the non-Zionist left. Anyone who is in favor of a state for all its citizens is a bit of a traitor. That is, he believes that Jews do not deserve a state of their own and does not feel a shared destiny with the Jewish people at all, but pretends to be a brother. It just so happens that he is aware of himself, but a significant part of them are ignorant).

In addition, until he even dares to bring up the stupidity of the right (who exactly? The Sephardim vote for Bibi? He was simply brainwashed. The Likud is not all right-wing. And not all of them are Bibiists, and Bibi is probably smarter than the average politician) he has probably forgotten that the left (all of them!) is many times stupider than the right. Every day another contradiction emerges in the behavior of these people, and they suffer from an extreme lack of self-awareness. Simply a mental illness. So add that to their usual problematic nature.

The rabbi simply behaves in everything like a little child (just like that!) who thinks that the things he has are self-evident. He thinks that he lives in an abstract world where general principles do indeed govern reality. A bit like someone who thinks that with game theory it is possible to manage the economy. The left will not act here in matters of religion and state as the rabbi thinks, but will impose its anti-religious religion or any other religion it holds. As it already does these days (events of Haredim in separation, etc., core studies)

I also can't stand how Bibi surrenders to the Haredim time and time again, but rest assured that all matters of religion and state will fly out the window and Meretz (and probably the entire left today, including the anti-Bibiists) will wear a Tremel if they can turn a few more settlements over like the spirit of madness that is good for them

In the end, you have no choice but to believe in someone and believe that they will do the right thing even if they haven't done it yet. You don't have to choose the lesser evil, but the best that there is and from now on believe in them that they will be able to develop. Otherwise you will go crazy all your days (you will lose your mind). This is the principle of madness. I, for example, also choose to believe that Rabbi Michi will soon be cured in our time of this mental illness that the left suffers from, but in the meantime, anyone who is mentally ill cannot manage anything, and there should be no right to vote in the affairs of those who are not mentally ill.

I'll put it on a slightly higher level. You should vote in elections (for people who believe in the people of Israel and in a shared destiny with them. And not deal with civil rights and civil equality, which is simply a wash for anti-Zionism. Like the German Reformers who wanted to assimilate with the Germans and stole theirs in their faces. The hard left of Israel is a type of such Reformers) and only out of gratitude to God for giving us the state (Rabbi Michi does not believe that the state is from God, and in any case he moves on to general considerations of elections as if we were in the US). This is your effort. Put a note in the ballot box and don't look at it. Everything else is beyond your ability to influence (leave it in God's hands) and the rest of the time, don't deal with the media, but deal with fixing the normal world (which is really the important thing) and from there the rest of the flaws in politics will also be fixed. Don't think that just because you voted for someone, that person will save the world. It is said about this: Cursed is the man who trusts in man. One must vote because that is what God wants (this is how it seems to those who believe in Zionism from God). One must trust in God and God wants us to trust in men (there is a fundamental difference between "trust in" (to trust) and "to believe in").
