Recent riots in France, marked by looting and attacks on citizens, raise serious questions about Europe's future and echo concerns in Israel about a potential resurgence of the violent disturbances seen during the "Guardian of the Walls" events. The article suggests that upcoming Israeli elections will determine whether the country learns from the European situation or follows a similar path.
The author criticizes French President Macron's response to the unrest, contrasting his attendance at a Celine Dion concert with the looting of elderly French citizens. The piece notes the absence of damage to mosques during these protests, questioning the narrative that they are solely student demonstrations.
In contrast, the article recalls the "Guardian of the Walls" riots in Israel, where Arab Israeli citizens allegedly attacked Jewish citizens, leading to fear, property damage, lynching, and murder in mixed cities and sieges of entire communities in the Galilee. While Israel has since suppressed violent protests, the article expresses concern about potential future unrest, particularly in the Negev and Galilee, after the upcoming elections.
The piece highlights campaign promises from Israeli politicians, including Yair Golan's commitment to halt Bedouin home demolitions and provide urban planning for Arab communities, and Gadi Eisenkot's proposal to allow 120 Palestinians to work daily in Israel. It also references Avigdor Lieberman's plan for Jordanian legions to guard areas B and C in the West Bank.
The author expresses skepticism about these plans, citing Naftali Bennett's past positive remarks about Mansour Abbas as a coalition partner, despite Abbas's rhetoric about an "occupier" regarding Jerusalem. The article concludes by warning that the riots in France, fueled by progressive ideologies, could spread to Israel if vigilance is lost, and that the composition of the next Israeli government will be decisive.
