Tango with the Poison Machine
Ronen Bergman criticizes Rotem M. Sela's opinion piece in ynet, which claims election biases and Arab identification with Hamas.

He warns against racist generalizations and calls on the newspaper not to abandon its commitment to truth.
In his article, Ronen Bergman attacks Rotem M. Sela's opinion piece published in ynet under the title 'What the Jews Will Do Next.' Bergman argues that Sela presents factual claims without proof, such as 'illegal actions that helped the rise of the Arab bloc,' while the Central Elections Committee reported no findings of election fraud. Bergman also mentions the Shin Bet's investigation into fuel cards in the south, which did not establish suspicion of election bribery. He criticizes the portrayal of Mansour Abbas as identifying with Hamas, noting that Abbas supported disarming Hamas and expressed opposition to terrorism. Bergman warns against racist generalizations that push an entire public out of the circle of legitimate partnership, and calls on the newspaper not to abandon its commitment to truth in the name of balance.
