Lapid Accused of Hypocrisy Over Double Standards in Appointments and Campaigning

Opposition leader Yair Lapid is accused of hypocrisy for criticizing the current government's actions, which he himself engaged in during his tenure as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister. The author points to Lapid's past actions, particularly during the previous election period, where he approved five appointments of heads of diplomatic missions less than a month before the election. This move, which did not involve the Attorney General, was reportedly approved unanimously by the government at the time.

Lapid has recently approached the Attorney General to prevent the current government from making similar appointments, a stance the author finds contradictory. The article questions whether Lapid has forgotten his own actions or if he believes in a double standard, citing the Latin proverb "Quod licet lovi, non licet bovi" (What is permitted to Jupiter is not permitted to an ox).

Furthermore, Lapid is criticized for using IDF soldiers and facilities as a backdrop for his election videos. The article contrasts his current criticism of the Prime Minister for allegedly doing the same, with a video of Lapid himself at an Air Force base during a previous election campaign, with a fighter jet in the background. The author suggests Lapid either has a poor memory, is surrounded by people who don't challenge him, or believes his actions are permissible while others' are not.

The piece concludes by stating that the public is not foolish and can recognize hypocrisy and double standards, referencing Google searches as an example of how easily such inconsistencies can be exposed.
