Instead of repelling hatred in the world, the government's despisers fuel it | Yossi Achimeir

Yossi Achimeir argues that instead of uniting forces against the global wave of antisemitism, opponents of the Israeli government are fueling the hatred. He criticizes the government's conduct since October 7, warns against complacency and factionalism, and cautions against dangerous withdrawals from territories captured by the IDF.

Yossi Achimeir, in an opinion column in Maariv, attacks opponents of the Israeli government, claiming they provide fuel for anti-Israeli hatred in the world instead of uniting forces against it. Three years after October 7, he describes a state of war on seven fronts and warns against complacency and factionalism. Achimeir criticizes the mayors of major Israeli cities for not responding to the New York mayor's remarks calling Netanyahu a "genocide architect." He refers to the attempted attack on the Emirati passenger plane as a "Sukkot miracle" and condemns Netanyahu's haters for using this event to attack him, citing journalist Aviad Glickman. The column calls for looking ahead, preventing withdrawals from territories, and preparing for additional threats, emphasizing the need to heal from complacency and factionalism.
