Columnist Meir Uziel expressed concern following the recent Israeli elections, urging President Isaac Herzog to task the largest party with forming a unity government. Uziel argued that a government relying on "anti-Zionist Arab parties" would be dangerous, potentially leading to national disaster. He cited a testament from his grandfather, a former Chief Rabbi, emphasizing the importance of unity and warning against division.
He warned that such leadership could lead to a "kingdom of fools" and a trap from which escape is impossible, referencing the situation in Europe as a cautionary tale.
The author stressed that once votes are cast, politicians, not voters, dictate the country's direction. He specifically cautioned against empowering "anti-Zionist Arab politicians," distinguishing them from the general Arab population, many of whom he described as good people. Uziel asserted that these politicians operate independently of their constituents' votes and that granting them influence over Israel's leadership would be akin to national suicide.
He contrasted the current situation with his recent visit to Prague, where he observed Israeli flags and heard Hebrew spoken freely without fear. This, he contrasted with the unrest and anti-Jewish sentiment he perceived in cities like Paris, Sweden, and Spain, attributing it to the slow, strategic growth of political Islam. Uziel concluded that empowering such forces would lead to a genocide of Jews, a threat he believes is amplified by Israel's enemies on its borders.
