The article criticizes the silence of certain public figures, referred to as "pips," in the face of significant legal and political developments. It highlights the alleged actions of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, suggesting he allowed evidence to be fabricated and witnesses to be coerced in order to bring down a government. The author expresses surprise that individuals who previously "celebrated every pip that was popped in the Triple Zero cases" remained silent when the "doorposts moved and the mask fell from the tapestry."
The piece uses metaphors to describe the situation. One metaphor compares a house's water supply to a nearly empty cistern, suggesting a lack of preparedness or resources. The homeowner, an 'farmer,' refuses to collect rainwater, instead kicking over the bucket, symbolizing a rejection of available solutions or a deliberate act of sabotage.
Another metaphor describes people living in a "cave," believing that a password will open a door and that a small percentage can lead to overnight growth. It suggests a naive faith in simple solutions and a disconnect from reality, implying that these individuals expect the public to adopt their essence if they are "telephoned." The author questions where this path will lead in the coming days.
