Q&A: Left, Right, Netanyahu
Left, Right, Netanyahu
Question
It is known that the Rabbi is one of Netanyahu’s sharpest opponents. Still, assuming that Netanyahu’s governments in the recent period were more “right-wing” in the security/territorial sphere than the change government that was formed (as the data—assuming it is correct—seems to show here: https://m.maariv.co.il/journalists/Article-950305), would you support a Netanyahu government, or would your opposition to Netanyahu for all sorts of other reasons still outweigh that?
Answer
Indeed, the data looks troubling. I would be glad to see a response from the government to these figures presented by the Regavim movement. In any case, Netanyahu has not demonstrated a different security or diplomatic policy. On the contrary, he gave in more and did less, both within the territory of the State of Israel and in the territories. Therefore, I am not at all sure that under a Netanyahu government the situation would be any different. Beyond that, Netanyahu is causing enormous damage to the state, and therefore even if these figures are accurate, I still oppose choosing him. If there were another right-wing prime minister, one could certainly consider voting for him.
