Hadar Miller, a commentator, is urging members of the Religious Zionist community who are dissatisfied with the current right-wing leadership to carefully consider their choices in the upcoming elections. While acknowledging the disappointment with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Bezalel Smotrich, Miller cautions against supporting potential alternatives like Naftali Bennett, Gadi Eisenkot, or Avigdor Lieberman without scrutinizing their potential coalition partners.
Miller argues that voting for these figures could inadvertently lead to the formation of a left-leaning coalition, potentially reliant on the support of Arab parties. She specifically highlights concerns about Yair Golan, citing his past statements on religion in public spaces and his call to close the Eli pre-military academy. Miller questions how a political partnership with Golan would impact government policy on religion, state, and education.
Furthermore, Miller raises concerns about the implications of a future government depending on parliamentary support from Arab parties. She points to the Joint List chairman's stance on Hamas and his proposal for parliamentary backing of an alternative government, contingent on specific demands. Miller suggests that voters should consider what these demands might be and how they could affect defense budgets, government policy, and the Palestinian issue.
While not idealizing the current right-wing government, Miller stresses that voters choose between real political alternatives, not between the current reality and a perfect, imaginary government. She emphasizes that a vote for a party is also a vote for a bloc and its potential consequences, urging voters to examine the full implications of their choices beyond just the candidate or list they select.
