Following recent elections, the article argues that the traditional and nationalistic Jewish majority, which is growing, must address the "Arab problem." It draws a parallel to the biblical story of Abraham, Sarah, and Ishmael, where Sarah insists on expelling Ishmael due to his actions, a decision God supports. The author posits that Sarah's stance represents a simple, natural reality: one cannot coexist with those who wish to eliminate them.
The piece suggests that a "leftist minority" faces a similar dilemma regarding forming a government with supporters of Hamas, contrasting this with their Jewish brethren. The author asserts that this coalition is destined to fail, regardless of attempts, because the leftist faction is a minority within the Jewish public. This is true despite what the article describes as a coordinated and funded campaign, the involvement of Israelis living abroad, the events of October 7th, accusations of blood libel, and the campaign by the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community.
The author predicts that either the left will be tempted to ally with Arab parties, leading to the collapse of the government and new elections, or a rotation government between major parties will emerge, only to eventually lead to new elections. Regardless of the immediate political outcome, the article concludes that these elections will reinforce the growing understanding among the traditional and nationalistic Jewish majority that the "Arab problem" must be resolved. This, the author believes, will result in Israel becoming an even more Jewish, nationalistic, and traditional state in future elections, while still accommodating Arabs loyal to the state.
