The Lie of 'Unity'
Einav Schiff argues in an opinion piece that talk of 'unity' between the coalition and opposition is based on a fictional assumption that the option even exists. According to him, Netanyahu has not signaled a genuine intention for unity, and any agreement with him would be a surrender.
Einav Schiff argues in an opinion piece that talk of 'unity' between the coalition and opposition is based on a fictional assumption that the option even exists. According to him, Netanyahu has not signaled a genuine intention for unity; on the contrary, he announced that the next coalition would be based on the current one, questioned the legitimacy of Arab citizens, and escalated racist rhetoric. Schiff asserts that any agreement with Netanyahu would be surrender, not unity, and that the organizing moral principle of the 'change bloc' – that Netanyahu cannot continue – obligates its representatives not to sit with him.
