T. Belman. What a disgusting smear job by Horovitz. First of all, Smotrich and Ben Gvir are courageous patriots not “toxic provocateurs”. He is right to say, “What we are witnessing, in short, is a moment of destiny for Israel, a moment of drastic, fateful, fundamental change.” Thank G-d for that.
Israel is changing from a liberal democracy ruled by the bureaucratic swamp to a patriotic democracy ruled by the Knesset.
The centre-left has been in charge since Israel’s declaration and have brought Israel disaster after disaster, namely giving the Temple Mount to the Jordanian Wakf, not extending Israeli sovereignty to Judea and Samaria after the ’67 War according to Ben Gurion’s Law, in perpetrating the Oslo Accords which included the introduction of Arafat and his 40,000 terrorists into Israel, disengaging from Gaza resulting in being inundated from time to time with thousands of rockets, all in the name of chasing peace at any cost.
It is time for “fundamental change”. Israelis voted for it. I predict that Smotrich and Ben Gvir will do much to correct the errors of the centre-left and they will not destroy democracy in Israel.
