Editorial

Everything that is seen in the next one hundred and twenty days of the Israeli election campaign, is the responsibility of the politicians. And of course, we will see in the coming days, curses, accusations, lies, verbal violence on the verge of physical violence, and especially the helplessness to form a government. But politicians reflect the public, and in the Knesset only the vocal representatives of the public are present, these are his copies in the value sense, the people who have the talent to sharpen the play; These people are not the public, which is the one who bears the primary responsibility for the play; His responsibility is immeasurably greater than the responsibility of politicians.
The play is about a slump of values to which the public has deteriorated. A slump that no longer makes it possible to reach constitutive public decisions in the Knesset. The original of the curses, the big gestures, the blazing eyes, and the rage, can be easily heard in the street, on the road, in the supermarket, in the post office, at the airport, and with a little lack of luck, even a search for parking in Israel 2022, may end with a bullet in the head. This is rare but give it some more time.
The value deterioration is based on the Ashkenazi racial attack on the Jewish East, which began in the middle of the 19th century and whose end is unknown, and which turned the political system into a psycho-public catharsis for the release of inter-ethnic pain, instead of being an arena for clarification and decision-making on public issues. Our ballot box has become a couch of psychologists.
In Israel, there is a body that expresses the political parties, and its role is to legislate the Israeli legal system. There is no body that expresses the Israeli public, unlike the Israeli parties, and whose role is to establish and sharpen the Israeli value system, that is, the public identity card; There is no public political mechanism or institution in Israel that expresses the public's responsibility for its public systems, and its values, which are the genetic infrastructure for the system of laws, and for party representation.
It is time to change the political system, and the electoral system and the nature of government in Israel, and to add to the Knesset, a House of Representatives, a house that will have representatives of all the communities of Israel, not its parties, and which will formulate the values of Israel. You could call it BEIT ATSERET AM. It will be in the power of the House to end the tenure of a government, and it will also have the power to bring about the formation of a new government; In this case, it could even be a minority government, which did not win a majority of Knesset members, since behind it stands the full force of the Israeli boulevard of values, by virtue of the upper house of parliament.
