These elections are about service
In an opinion piece, Ouzi Ben Nune argues that the upcoming elections in Israel are about service, Zionism, and loyalty. He quotes MK Yitzhak Goldknopf of United Torah Judaism, who said in an interview that 'if we decide we deserve it – we will take it', and warns that this approach reflects a perception where politics is everything without regard for contribution. The author notes that about 50% of first-grade children are Haredi or Arab, and that within four years there will be more children in Haredi education than in state-secular Hebrew education. According to him, the denial of the service challenge is a serious misconception that endangers the existence of the Zionist project. The article calls for recognizing that Israel is 'a nation of heroes, not of scum', and warns that avoiding a decision on the issue will lead to the weakening of the nation.
