I didn't see it as so complicated, and perhaps I didn't take some facts into account, but the general scheme of what is happening is very similar to me.

In any case, my idea that the judiciary (starting with Aharon Barak) carried out a coup was confirmed, as was the assessment of the activities of Ehud Barak, senior army generals and the Israeli media.

Everything is moving towards the fact that I am becoming an angry demagogue.

I agree with that - i didn't use the word coup - but yes, so it seems. But there are cracks in their armor. The junior officers - most especially those in reserves - meaning those with jobs in the real economy and who are able to run for office should be ready to pull off a counterrevolution. So I hope and so will alleviate some of my ager.

I like your article. For the most I could follow. Could you - or someone else - elaborate more on this part: “take power and re-infuse the entire system with Zionism – not one based on the older left wing type or the newer right wing type but one based on the experiences of the current war. “?

Hi - sorry for the delayed reply. This will require a more extensive piece and I will start to work on it.

I have tried to write something short here ... but I can't manage it. Apologies. Look for a more extensive look in the next few weeks.

Nice! Don’t feel pressured. You know what? Maybe I will try my take on this as well. It’s a really interesting question. We can then see if we find some common takes. In any case thank you!
