Daydreams

For three and a half years, Israel went through five rounds of elections, each time with the same result as the others. Yet most ironically, the final outcome was one of the most stable governments the State of Israel has had in recent decades—a government that completed its full term.

There was, however, a catch. During precisely that period, a surprise attack was launched against Israel that included invasion into Israel, the seizure of communities and military bases, and atrocities comparable to those of the 1929 Hebron Massacre (except for the differences in technology—the atrocities were the same atrocities, but in the 21st Century, everything was broadcast live to the world in real time). To this day, students at leading universities like Harvard aspire to and long for another “October 7.” Such is the power of “proper” education. The Queen of Jordan refuses to believe that what was distributed by the Gazan fighters for liberation and freedom is true, and thus she led entire battalions who declared, drums beating most impressively to the tune:

No such things ever happened—it is all false and despicable propaganda.  Fake.  A Zionist Lie.  Babies were not baked alive in front of their parents, who were forced to watch. Boys and girls and young men and young women were not raped and murdered; their genitals were not mutilated in the process, their bodies were not left strewn like trash, burned or paraded for the world to see and fear; nothing happened to them. All these things are so contrary to our religion, which seeks peace and beauty.

Would the Bennett government that preceded Netanyahu’s government have responded differently? To where did all the institutions disappear — the Shin Bet, the Mossad, the Prime Minister’s Office, all the ministers’ offices, the IDF, the Air Force, and many more? They vanished as though they had never existed, allowing the atrocities to continue uninterrupted for so many hours.  After all, according to the Jordanian Queen, nothing did take place.

If only we learned from the mistakes of the past, but it seems that this simply goes against our very nature. We make empty promises of the sort “Never Again,” but we do not pour content or meaning into them.  The prevailing approach is: “We will manage. We know how to improvise and do it well. We will come out on top. Sufficient unto the day is its own trouble. There is no need to change or to be changed.” Thus, day-old infants were murdered before their parents’ eyes, and parents were cut into pieces before their children, before those children were raped by many and murdered in the midst of the celebration.

What happened that day and subsequently to the captives was approved in advance by the devilish religious authorities there in Gaza, who also encouraged those setting out on the hunt. It turns out that even the prohibitions of the Qur’an were set aside: to conquer Israel and destroy the Jews is such a noble and lofty goal that if, along the way, it is necessary to rape children, youths, men, and elderly people (i.e. to perform sodomy on males and other homosexual acts), such behavior is permitted with absolute religious authority – glory be to Allah the most merciful and compassionate.

The Gazans have lost their humanity—if they had any to begin with. They are masters at creating an image, but what is really hidden behind that mask? They show us mosques, kindergartens, schools, clinics, hospitals, ambulances, teachers, doctors, Red Cross personnel, soccer players, and more, and behold—they are the VICTIMS. But when the facade is peeled away, the Devil himself remains. Therefore, when people ask—or, more accurately, assert—”It cannot be that there are no innocent civilians there in Gaza,” one knows that this is exactly the case: there is none, simply none, not a single “innocent civilian” there in Gaza.

In Gaza is only the Devil with several million faces, all of them unfortunate, sad, suffering, suffocating, yearning for peace as for oxygen, and sanctifying life (of 72 virgins in the afterlife); standing opposite those victims are Israeli agents of death, the Nazis—may Allah blot them and their memory from consciousness forevermore. Neither above the earth nor beneath it, neither in the past nor certainly in the future—are there innocents in Gaza, no matter what the Supreme Court justices or the enlightened demonstrators going out weekly to Kaplan Street may tell you.

We have heard so many calls for a State Commission of Inquiry, exactly as delineated by law — because the form is crucial, not the substance — arguments back and forth, and claims directed mainly against the Prime Minister and his government. Yet all of these are worth no more than garlic peels, because when the one protesting and demanding is unwilling to compromise by even a hair’s breadth, it turns out that he too is wearing a mask, and that mask is no different in essence or ugliness from other masks, behind which there is no truth; just pure essence of (self-) hatred.

There are those who think that the tomorrow, after the elections of October 27, 2026, will be different. And here I can promise that nothing will change even if Netanyahu is no longer Prime Minister. He is not immortal, and age takes its toll, even on someone who appears to possess endless strength. And in truth, it does not matter who will be in his place. When the essence is corrupt, appearances cannot repair it. What is required is root-cause treatment, a fresh start, a genuine change or another massive shock, even greater than before.  Will we be able to endure something like October 7 once again?

Our enemies learned very quickly how to gain control over us, to bring us into a state of numbness and madness, to throw us off balance, to drive us out of our minds. They used those among us as enemies from within, carrying out their will, obeying without question—an army of zombies. They simply activated us against the body itself, and they did so remarkably.

All that is required is to kidnap Israelis, and Israel completely loses its composure. All that is required elsewhere around the world is to hunt Israelis under false accusations of genocide, and the world, as though drugged, rushes and repeats:

“Genocide—you are guilty of genocide. You must be imprisoned, put on trial, gotten rid of. May your name be blotted out, child murderers.  Genocide no more!  Israel to be gone!  Jews disperse – you are not wanted – disappear! (or we will make that happen).  YOU ARE GUILTY OF GENOCIDE.”

All our enemies have to do is literally nothing; the world—and Israel from within—will do the rest. For that our enemies deserve a Nobel Prize for Genius. And I had thought that it was actually the Mossad that had engraved on its doors the verse from the Book of Proverbs (11:14):

“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is deliverance.”

Also from Proverbs (24:6):

“For with wise advise thou shall make war, and in the multitude of counsellors there is salvation.“

Apparently we forgot; we lost our daring, our ingenuity, and our ability to think outside the box. On October 7 it was proven that this was indeed the case. Since then, we have been trying to recover, to return to what we once were.

Now we stand at the threshold of an election campaign described as “fateful” for the State of Israel. Some are so anxious about what may happen that people are already planning to fly to Israel in order to vote on election day. Fair enough—the weather is pleasant, October is a wonderful time to visit, prices will be reasonable because it is after Sukkot this year—welcome. It is truly that fateful and matters that much to you, yet you no longer live in Israel, nor will you return to it.

News for everyone: our fate does not depend on the outcome of this election or any other. So it is in Israel, and so it is in the United States. We survived Obama and Biden as well. Israel will survive, no matter who wins or loses the election. There is no leader who will rally the people and change the balance of power. Indeed, it is all an illusion. No matter what the results may be, the ultimate, absolute power is held by the judicial system. Pay attention to recent years: it does not matter what the government decides or what the Knesset legislates. Almost immediately, within minutes, petitions are filed against it, and the Attorney General together with the High Court Division immediately join against the government and against the Knesset, issuing a conditional order freezing or canceling the decision, even though it falls within the absolute authority of the government and/or the Knesset.

It turns out that the voice of a voter, the voice of millions of voters, matter not at an iota.  This is not a democracy but an absolute control by the Judicial system.  Everything else is sorcery, a play, an illusion, a fantasy.

Something has happened though.  Two gatekeepers have been replaced — no more obedient followers but independent thinkers.  The absolute blind adherence to the judicial system was replaced by common sense and adherence to the actual law, not to its interpretations or being hijacked.  Two more are left, and then it would be possible to shrink the judicial system back to its natural proportions, its appropriate size, to a healthy, intelligent, constructive system that does not rule every aspect of life, is not crazy and is not driving others to madness.  Only then the Israeli democracy might rise from lying tied down, captive and abused, but until then, it is completely held back, raped, tortured, starved and mutilated.

There is no other example in the Western world for the power of a judicial system as it exists in Israel.  Instead of being a light unto the nations, we set a horrible example of how absolute power corrupts.  Is there any surprise then that Jews are blamed for a complete hold and control over the banking system, the communications system and more and more?  The Jews befell their own endless greediness, cunningness, despicableness and power intoxication.  Historically they used these traits against non-Jews, but it turns out that they are not immune themselves.  For two millennia they spread a virus around the world and that had brought about millions of victims.  Finally the Jews are succumbing to the virus they spread.  Exactly like the Ebola virus, the Jews are destroying themselves.

What may be the October Surprise in the Israeli upcoming elections?  In the USA, Donald J Trump was re-elected, despite all the efforts to prevent him from running, actually from staying alive.  The voter was sick and tired of the total-craziness that had infected all systems of government.  Will something similar happen in Israel?  Only time will tell.  For now, all sides of the political spectrum can continue to be under the illusion that the upcoming Israeli election on October 27, 2026, will indeed bring about a real change.  It will not.
