Democracy on a one-sided basis

Gil Bringer argues that the Change Camp ignores suspicions of election bribery in the Arab sector and attacks Shin Bet chief David Zini, demonstrating double standards compared to its previous positions regarding the Shin Bet's role and the judicial reform.

Gil Bringer writes in ynet that the Change Camp is displaying hypocrisy regarding election integrity. According to him, while the camp previously warned against election theft from the right, it now ignores concrete suspicions of election bribery totaling one hundred million shekels in the Arab sector, which could shift two mandates. Instead, the camp attacks Shin Bet chief David Zini, who is responsible for handling the suspicions. The column compares this to the camp's previous support for a broad role of the Shin Bet to protect democracy during the judicial reform, and criticizes the plan to repeal the flagship laws of the reform all at once, relying on a temporary majority, contrary to the previous demand for broad consensus.
