Tel-Chai Nation

A columnist at Israel HaYom makes a case why the politicians taking an "anyone but Bibi" (or a "Never Netanyahu") stance are playing most dangerous game:

"Bringing down Netanyahu is preferable to the premiership," Yesh Atid party head Yair Lapid, the man spearheading opponents of the prime minister, made clear.

We have never before seen abysmal hatred for one politician become a party's refined campaign in an election. The fact that the "Anyone but Bibi" camp's electorate is at peace with this line is an insult to their intelligence. As a famous quote attributed to physicist Albert Einstein goes: "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits."

In this dangerous game that is being played with Israel's future, the ends justify the means.

It's one that Gideon Saar's doing, and at least until recently, so too has Naftali Bennett. And it's utterly damaging. If this election results in disaster, they along with Lapid will have to shoulder some responsibility.
