The real ammunition for the enemies
Michael Milstein analyzes in an opinion column how the political crisis in Israel and the harsh discourse toward the Arab voice are perceived by Israel's enemies as a sign of impending collapse, and warns of a deterioration in the country's international image.
Michael Milstein, a senior researcher at Tel Aviv University, analyzes in an opinion column on ynet the regional implications of the political crisis in Israel after the elections. According to him, the lack of a clear outcome reinforces a widespread perception in the world that Israel is becoming unbalanced and unbridled. He argues that Hezbollah and Hamas derive satisfaction from the harsh discourse toward the Arab voice, which they see as proof of Sinwar's prophecy about Israel's collapse. Milstein warns against the normalization of extreme concepts in public discourse, and cautions that Israel's image in the world is changing for the worse in a way that could cause irreversible damage.
