Anarchy is the new Israeli routine
An opinion article arguing that the State of Israel has become a lawless state, where the army and police are unable to enforce the law, referencing failures in handling Haredi draft dodgers, the security fiasco of the Flydubai flight, and the upcoming elections. The author, Einav Schiff, sharply criticizes the current government and the public's lack of urgency.
Einav Schiff's opinion piece argues that the State of Israel has become a lawless state, where the army and police are unable to enforce the law. The author references several incidents: a failed attempt by the army and police to arrest a Haredi draft dodger, the security fiasco surrounding the attempted attack on a Flydubai flight, and a general lack of enforcement. Schiff sharply criticizes the current government, which was elected on promises of 'governance' and 'security,' just three weeks before the elections. He claims the state has become an 'extreme parody of a banana republic,' and that the public does not understand the severity of the situation. The author questions the ability of the opposition and the role of the media, but concludes that the solution lies in a collective decision by the public that this cannot continue.
