It is not exactly clear who Yair Lapid, the leader of the Israeli opposition, is trying to deceive in his campaign for the upcoming elections on the 27th of this month! Whatever his goals may be, it is not expected that his attempts to win over a new audience will succeed, as he is committing the biggest mistake one like him can make under such circumstances by not respecting the mentality of those he addresses, with his naive attempt to win over all parties at once under the illusion that he possesses the intelligence to do so. The result is that he loses everyone, and he risks losing some of his previously guaranteed base! Look at what he said last week, claiming that he has a principled stance against the violence of Israelis in their dealings with Palestinians, mentioning that he had a meeting he described as (painful) with a group of young Israelis, and that he heard from them phrases calling for the killing of all Palestinians on the grounds that there are no innocents among them. When he asked the youth: (Even infants?), they answered him yes, even infants! They justified their position by saying that infants will grow up to become terrorists!! Adding to his warning about the spread of violence in Israel, Lapid said that Israel cannot recover while a minister calls for bombing Gaza with a nuclear bomb. He referred to the statements of Heritage Minister Amihai Eliyahu in November 2023, when Netanyahu at that time merely said that he reprimanded the minister for what he said, yet the minister remained in his position! Moreover, the ministers who called for starving civilians in Gaza also continued in their positions, as Lapid stated, and he then warned that their continued presence in their positions harms Israel! He criticized Netanyahu's government for being hardline against countries that criticize it, saying that this does not serve Israel's interests.

And although this statement suggests that Lapid is indeed opposing Netanyahu's government policy, which implies that he has a different program, he declares in the same meeting his rejection of the criticisms of Ireland and Spain regarding Israeli violence!! How can he object to the statements of the two countries that agree with what he previously said about the government and society?! He even adds that he prefers to go to these countries that criticize Israel's policy, appear in their media, and discuss the critics!
