From whom will we ask forgiveness and to whom will we offer our pardon? From whom will we demand an admission of sin and whom will we let off? It was entertaining to read the soul searching by the angels of forgiveness, as though they were God, using the pages of the newspapers to conduct the account books determining the fate of politicians, doctors, the “public” and even of the one and only – the omnipotent one who sits in his temple on Balfour Street. Fortunately, it turns out that in the media Tent of Assembly, the priests are not all of a kind.
Not only leftists beat up on leftists – right-wingers also opened a front against right-wingers. There are some who are offering a dreamy deal to Netanyahu, retirement in exchange for erasing the indictments – and opposite them are those who want his head are shouting: “It won’t happen.” No concession and no deal. Others are waving the flag of a presumption of innocence, to which every criminal is entitled before being convicted.
Haaretz podcast: Netanyahu's sacrifice keeps Israel in lockdown limbo
In short, the town is ablaze, and Star Wars is already here. Pundits Liebskind and Novick versus Riklin, Riklin versus Segal, Tadmor versus Liebskind – what a fascinating derby. And the nation is watching and biting its nails, because what could be more disastrous than Riklin’s blocking of Segal on Twitter? And where will the next crushing offensive come from? Perhaps erasing the history of the correspondence between them on WhatsApp?
The neighborhood ball game, between those who would pardon and those who would convict, has gathered such a large viewing audience that it has become inflated to the status of a cup final, as if it will determine the fate of the prime minister. But one paragraph was swallowed up in the noise, a paragraph that was included in the hair-raising exposé by Gidi Weitz, who published excerpts from Netanyahu’s investigation in Haaretz. The paragraph sidelines these street fighters into insignificance.
“We have neighbors who are our bitter enemies. I send them messages all the time. I mislead them, destabilize them, mock them. And then I hit them on the head. It’s exactly the same thing here. … This is a political war against someone who has taken over the country, and I’m breaking his bones.”
This was Netanyahu's explanation to the investigators, who asked him to explain the contradiction between his efforts to form an alliance with Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Arnon Mozes and his claim that he had no intention of keeping his promises. That is the one and only truth in Netanyahu’s pack of lies.
From his point of view, the definition of the enemy is anyone who doesn’t agree with his opinion and threatens his tyranny. The court, journalists on the right and left, political rivals, business moguls and of course “the people,” who are always to blame. Apologizing and asking forgiveness? That’s for weaklings.
Here we break bones. We poison the wells, destroy through targeted assassination or carpet bombing on the social networks, take control of the television broadcasts, lock down the nation, suppress the demonstrations so that Masada will not fall again. Arnon Mozes is only one example, and Case 2000 is the poisonous capsule, which proves criminal intent not only in the specific crime attributed to Netanyahu in that case, but in the entirety of his conduct during his tenure as prime minister – whether it concerns an external enemy or a domestic one.
In his reply to his investigators, Netanyahu lays out an orderly theory of combat that justifies every step and every action that he has taken and will take, because he is synonymous with the state. Peace with the Emirates, a lockdown on Israel, stopping demonstrations, permitting prayers, a declaration about annexation and a retreat from it – these are all included in the few lines that determine that “This is a political war against someone who has taken control of the country.” “Someone,” whether Mozes or the left, whether Attorney General Mendelblit or the court, whether the public or the Knesset – everyone has to have their bones broken – these are the ideology, the strategy and the tactics that threaten the public and the country.
In the face of such a danger there is no room for soul searching, or deals or plea bargains, nor for understanding or forgiveness. The pirate who has taken over the country, robbed it and waved the skull and crossbones over its corpse, must be removed immediately from the fortress and sent to the court and his legal fate.
