- Author claims the Israeli left is creating a "fictitious majority" with Arabs and returning Israelis.
- The left allegedly cannot achieve a majority without anti-Zionist Arab votes, according to the article.
- The article disputes data supporting claims of a mass return of Israelis to the country.
- The author suggests the left seeks a final power grab to establish a dictatorship.
- This alleged dictatorship would be achieved through judicial appointments and anti-democratic laws.
The author suggests that the left wing exaggerates this phenomenon for political marketing purposes, with many returnees posting emotional messages about coming back to 'save the country' after decades of absence and disconnection.
The author questions whether these returnees, along with Arab voters, constitute the 'true Zionist majority' that the left claims to represent. The piece posits that the Israeli left is unable to achieve a mathematical majority without relying on votes from anti-Zionist Arabs and individuals who have long since left Israel. This, the author contends, indicates the left's demographic defeat and its subsequent abandonment of restraint, citing protests in Kaplan Street as an example of attempts to regain power through violence and coercion.
According to the article, the left's current strategy involves creating an "imagined, fictitious, artificial majority" by uniting fringe groups, including returnees, Arabs, and anti-Zionists. The alleged goal is to seize power one last time to establish a permanent dictatorship through the appointment of radical judges to the Supreme Court and the enactment of anti-democratic basic laws. Such actions, the author claims, would permanently shape the nature of the state, regardless of election outcomes or the ruling party.
