A senior executive at a business company in central Israel, who is a respected figure in her field, described a profound sense of alienation following the recent elections. On October 27th, 20% of Israeli citizens "woke up and wanted to be partners," but the following day, she and others like her "received insults from those who call themselves the 'Change Bloc.'" The businesswoman, whose son is a medical student and whose husband is in business, had dedicated her life to integrating into Israeli society, participating in university life and her children's education.
