Lior Ben Ami writes about Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign against embracing Mansour Abbas, chairman of Ra'am. The article describes how Netanyahu, who himself shook hands with Arafat, attributes to the embrace a meaning of defiling the national camp. Abbas, who has no army and is not responsible for disasters, becomes a political demon due to his desire to get closer. Ben Ami notes that Abbas supports national-civil service for Arabs, unlike the Haredim. The article criticizes politicians like Bennett, Lapid, Lieberman, and Gantz who fall into the trap of Netanyahu's scare tactics instead of seeing Abbas as an opportunity for change.
