Liberals believe removing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will restore sanity to Israel, but the phenomenon of "Bibiism" will persist, and societal repair requires addressing a deep ethnic rift. The article argues that the concept of "unity" has been devalued in political discourse, often used as a tool for deception. It criticizes a leader, identified as the architect of division and the undermining of democracy, who allegedly evades responsibility for national failures and obstructs investigations. This leader, accused of actions leading to soldier deaths for political survival and blocking hostage deal negotiations, now speaks against boycotts and calls for national unity, promising a "broad national government" post-election. The author questions the sincerity of such calls from this figure, suggesting the scenario is too absurd for satire.
