Enough Bibi – Enough

As I sit here writing this blog on Monday afternoon, while waiting to hear whether Bibi is firing Gallant in the middle of the war, and/or forming a new expanded government with Gideon Saar and appointing Gideon Saar, with almost zero experience in military matters, as the new Ministry of Defense, and somehow by doing all  of this while solving the problem of military service for large parts of the Hasidic community and to top it all off, all of the above has to be done after he receives the permission of his wife-and I am wondering what has happened to my country?

How low can the political leadership (and I mean Bibi and his wife, and those people in the Likud who were considered “normal” by some of us, and the Hasidic parties -who should be ashamed of themselves especially those who belong to a party which once had has its spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef) go??

I think about the more than 50 hostages still alive somewhere in Gaza – If they hear about any of this what do they think of their chances of coming out of all of this alive?

I think about the tens of thousands of young men and women in the regular army and in the reserves who have been serving in a war in which the political leadership’s decisions are based on what is good for the political personalities involved from Bibi down to the lowest member of the Likud in the Knesset!

The commitment of our soldiers, our children and grandchildren and also us, for seventy-five years has been to defend the people of our country-even at a very high cost-but not to defend the jobs of political leaders!

How and when will this stop???

We must stop it or there will be no Israel, at least not even the Israel that existed here two years ago!

Enough Bibi-Enough

Leave us alone to come together again!!
