“Malicious government”: One Israeli citizen’s journey after 7 October – Pearls and Irritations

Israel flag is reflected in broken mirror

And because you – Bibi – brought me to this place and because you are not ready to admit your responsibility.

And because you don’t want this war to end

And since the abductees interest you less than your personal goals…I swear that I will do everything necessary so that you will be dismissed together with your malicious government that supports you. That you and your malicious government will disappear from our lives forever.

This was in a speech to a demonstration – not at a University in a foreign land where the administrators vie to appear to be the strongest supporters of Israel, not in a parliamentary body where politicians safely distant from the realities and posture for media attention – but outside the home of Netanyahu himself.

‘David’ spoke these words in condemnation of the evil that is being done by Netanyahu’s government.

David is a retired high-ranking IDF officer. I only know him from messages to his friends across the world that have been forwarded to me by a close friend of mine who has Jewish ancestry. David is evidently a very intelligent person, a proud ex-officer of the IDF, a lover of classical music, someone who strives to improve the lot of those he is close to: someone who deserves to be called ‘civilised’.

“After six months, it seems like the government understands that Bibi Netanyahu is an obstacle,” demonstrator Einav Moses, whose father-in-law, Gadi Moses, is being held captive, told the Associated Press news agency. “Like he doesn’t really want to bring them back, that they have failed in this mission.”

“They say they want to oust Netanyahu; they say they’re fed up with his policies, ones that have not seen the return of the remaining Israeli captives who are held in Gaza,” said Salhut.

The demonstrators also demanded new elections nearly two years ahead of schedule.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid sharply criticised Netanyahu at the demonstration, saying he was destroying Israel’s relations with the United States and leaving the captives to their fate.
