No to unity that erases responsibility

Prof. Oz Almog publishes an opinion piece calling for not accepting unity without accountability. He lists 14 failures of the current government, including the October 7 disaster, failure to handle evacuees, tying the return of hostages to coalition survival, and incitement by ministers. His conclusion: those who supported dismantling the state's integrity have lost the right to demand forgiveness or unity.

Prof. Oz Almog, a sociologist and historian, publishes an opinion piece on ynet calling for not accepting unity based on forgetting and erasing responsibility. The article lists 14 failures and sins attributed to the current government and the coalition elected in the last elections: a predatory blitz to weaken the judicial system; the security disaster of October 7; failure in handling evacuees; intelligence and military failures; Netanyahu and his ministers' denial of responsibility; refusal to establish a state commission of inquiry; tying the return of hostages to coalition survival; lack of a plan for the day after the war; the struggle to maintain the exemption from military service for Haredim; the rise of crime in Arab society under Itamar Ben Gvir; the Netanyahu trial accompanied by attacks on law enforcement; the security leaks affair and suspicions of QatarGate; the dismissal of the defense minister and the attempt to oust the Shin Bet chief; and incitement by ministers and Knesset members. Almog concludes that those who supported dismantling the state's integrity have lost the right to demand forgiveness or unity.
