Dr. Leonid (Leon) Gershovich: Yes, to break the political concept

Dr. Leonid Gershovich calls for breaking the political concept in Israel, criticizing the manipulative use of 'right' and 'left' labels and the Bibi-centric discourse. He quotes Jabotinsky and Rabbi Kook, and calls for the establishment of a broad unity government led by the Likud and Yashar.

Dr. Leonid (Leon) Gershovich argues that the political concept in Israel must be broken, similar to the breaking of the Histadrut monopoly that Ze'ev Jabotinsky wrote about in 1932. He criticizes the adherence to 'right' and 'left' labels, which he calls manipulative and fundamentally wrong, and quotes Rabbi Kook, who condemned divisive terminology like 'Haredim' and 'secular'. Gershovich calls for precision in terminology and framing, and warns against the manipulative use of terms like 'racism' and 'democracy'. He argues that election results and challenges necessitate unity and the establishment of a broad Zionist government, whose central axis is the Likud and Yashar. The article concludes with a call for respectful, honest discourse based on 'Derech Eretz'.
