Supporters of the "change bloc" in Israeli politics are reportedly expressing anger and disappointment that their elected officials are not lying to them, with some demanding to be deceived. One incident described involved a voter confronting a "change bloc" politician in a restaurant, questioning why the politician couldn't "deceive us" and how they could look in the mirror without lying. Restaurant staff intervened to remove the agitated protester. Large billboards funded by tycoons have allegedly appeared nationwide with slogans like "Enough of the truth, enough of fulfilling commitments" and "Stop not deceiving us!" Many voters are reminding their representatives of pre-election promises, accusing them of not breaking them now that the elections are over, leading to jeers of "Shame! Shame! Shame!" A television panelist reportedly accused a "change bloc" politician of not being a liar, prompting the politician to leave the broadcast.
