Poll Suggests Majority Favors Replacing Netanyahu, Ending Public Gloom

A recent poll indicates a majority of Israelis would prefer to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a sentiment that could potentially lift the nation's current mood of despair. The article suggests that a "conception error" is hindering Israel, specifically a disregard for Arab citizens and a failure to count them. The author criticizes the current government's approach, likening it to "two magicians creating the Land of Oz" whose efforts are doomed to fail. The piece also references the film "N.Z.A." (likely referring to "Fauda" or a similar production), noting that its camera captured "us" twice, implying a recurring or inescapable situation. The author expresses a longing for a time when even election ties brought less distress than the current political climate. The article touches on the controversial topic of revoking citizenship and the idea of making a film about "Hilltop Youth," a reference to young settlers in the West Bank. It also mentions a conversation with Roni Rahav and a piece by Yossi Klein discussing support for revoking citizenship. The author, Yoana Gonen, suggests that people are flocking to the polls, implying a desire for change. Another perspective cited is that Sinwar has won and Israel has become a "Jihad state," based on an encounter with a young person by Lior Shlein. Yasmine Levy's opinion piece connects the events of October 7th to the viewing of "N.Z.A.," stating that every frame evokes that day. The article also includes a brief mention of a travel recommendation for a Greek vacation.
