Dr. Anat Maor: Time to be redeemed from the disgust
Dr. Anat Maor calls on the Israeli public to go out and vote in the elections on October 27, in order to be redeemed from the political disgust that reached its peak around the memorial day for the October 7 disaster. She describes statements made by a Likud candidate and a media personality on Channel 14 towards hostages and survivors of captivity, and presents voting in the ballot box as the only way to return Israel to the path of revival and the straight way.
Dr. Anat Maor, in an opinion piece in Zman Yisrael, describes the political disgust that reached its peak around the memorial day for the October 7 disaster. She notes two central incidents: a Knesset candidate from the Likud who wished Yocheved Lifshitz, an 88-year-old who was kidnapped and returned, to return to the hell of Hamas, and a host on Channel 14 who called survivors of captivity and relatives of hostages "despicable people" and "the lowest in Israel" and ordered them to apologize to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Maor states that this is the bottom of the sewer to which the prime minister and his cronies have dragged the country. She presents the elections on October 27 as the only way out of the abyss, and calls for a return to the values of Zionism and the Declaration of Independence. The column ends with quotes from Ehud Manor and Naomi Shemer, and a call to replace the leaders who brought about the worst massacre in the country's history.
