It's legal to be on the left - but present yourself as other

Boaz Haetzni attacks in an opinion column Gadi Eisenkot and his party 'Yashar!' claiming they present themselves as right-wing while their positions are left-wing, citing allegedly Eisenkot's chief advisor saying he asks what topics to discuss to appear right-wing.

Boaz Haetzni, a right-wing activist, publishes an opinion column on ynet in which he attacks Gadi Eisenkot and his party 'Yashar!' claiming they present themselves as right-wing while their positions are left-wing. Haetzni cites a poll by the Telegram channel 'Abu Ali Express' to which 'Yashar!' did not respond, and brings a quote he says is from Eisenkot's chief advisor, Ronen Menlis, saying: 'Tell me what topics I need to talk about so that the person thinks I'm on the right.' Haetzni details Eisenkot's opposition to construction in E1, his support for separation from the Palestinians, his support for the disengagement, and his vote against canceling the disengagement law in northern Samaria. The column ends with a call for Eisenkot to be honest and present himself as a leftist.
