Critic Berlah Krombi Blasts Moshe Feiglin for Undermining Israeli Right-Wing Unity

Berlah Krombi published a sharp critique of Moshe Feiglin, accusing him of repeatedly damaging the Israeli right-wing bloc by splitting votes, particularly in the 2019 elections. Krombi argues that Feiglin’s political runs have consistently failed to produce tangible achievements, instead weakening the right-wing’s chances of governance and leading to prolonged left-wing rule. He highlights Feiglin’s brief and unproductive tenure in the Knesset, noting his focus on fringe issues like cannabis legalization and his self-proclaimed exclusive right-wing status, which Krombi dismisses as empty rhetoric.

Krombi recalls Feiglin’s 2019 campaign, where he refused to commit to supporting Netanyahu and presented himself more like a green party candidate than a true right-wing ideologue. The campaign ended disastrously, culminating in a bizarre video that damaged Feiglin’s credibility. Krombi also criticizes Feiglin’s unrealistic claims, such as his recent podcast assertion that Israel could conquer Gaza in a few hours, comparing it misleadingly to the 1967 war, ignoring the vastly changed security landscape.

The article further details Feiglin’s history of blaming others for his failures, including Netanyahu and the political system, while never explaining how he could overcome entrenched political and security institutions. Krombi accuses Feiglin of inventing a divisive political style that challenges Netanyahu from the right, labeling him a false messiah who has contributed nothing to settlement building or right-wing policy implementation over three decades.

Krombi concludes that Feiglin’s political influence is waning and predicts that a new figure with real ideas and solutions will soon replace him. He expresses hope that the Israeli public will see through such false messianic figures in future elections.
