Do you remember November?

The truth is, I don’t want to ask about November.

I only want to ask: Do you remember October? Do you remember the seventh of October?

Do you remember the 1,200 murdered souls, the massacre, the families whose worlds were shattered in an instant, and the hostages still held captive in darkness?

Do you remember the hundreds of thousands of IDF reservists serving hundreds of days a year—crumbling beneath the crushing burden, sacrificing their businesses, their families, and their sanity just to keep us alive?

Do you remember the Defense Minister fawningly shaking hands with Goldknopf, selling out our frontline fighters in exchange for the draft evasion law?

Do you remember the all-time record in homicides and lawlessness spiraling out of control in our streets, presided over by a National Security Minister preoccupied solely with TikTok clout and cheap provocations?

Do you remember the dead and injured on our roads, piling up on neglected infrastructure simply because national budgets were redirected to political patronage?

Do you remember that we have no functioning Minister of Health—that the healthcare system is buckling under the weight, patients are abandoned in hospital hallways, and medical centers are crying out for funds diverted to coalition payoffs?

Do you remember our fractured educational system, which has completely lost its bearings and abandoned the future of our children?

Do you remember the cost of living crushing entire working families, the unconscionable price hikes at grocery checkouts, the soaring interest rates, and the runaway utility bills—all while the government distributes billions to narrow political sectors?

Do you remember the surging antisemitism across the globe and the unprecedented international isolation into which we have been steered?

Do you remember the international sanctions leveled against us, simply because this government chose messianic zeal over the national interest of the State of Israel?

Do you remember?

I just wanted to know if you remember.
