Today they shout at Eisenkot 'you killed your son' - tomorrow they will start killing over a parking spot
Columnist Daria Gershberg of 'Vesti' claims that the deliberate moral decay in politics, which she attributes to Netanyahu, leads to an increase in everyday crime. She cites examples of shouts directed at Eisenkot and threats on social media, as well as cases of street violence, drawing a parallel with Russia.
Columnist Daria Gershberg of 'Vesti' writes that the deliberate moral decay, which she attributes to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, leads to an increase in everyday crime in Israel. She provides examples: shouts directed at former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot 'you killed your son, traitor!', threats on social media to send Jews to Auschwitz and Sobibor, wishes for a rocket strike on Kaplan Street. The author links this to 'the collapse of moral norms' and warns that it inevitably spills onto the streets — a murder over a parking spot, arson of a yard over a banner, a fatal stabbing of a pizza worker by teenagers. Gershberg draws a parallel with Russia, where, in her opinion, moral degradation at the everyday level preceded the events of 2014 and 2022. She calls on everyone — both supporters and opponents of Netanyahu — to 'hold the line' and prevent further moral decline.
