It is often said that the day when the first phase of the coup d’état was launched will be remembered in history as a black day for the State of Israel.
“Standing a minute’s silence in memory of democracy”: Eyal Berkovic causes a stir watch
This day is joined by another day, which will be recorded in the history of television broadcasts in the archive that records them, the day when Berkovic stood for a minute’s silence in memory of democracy, holding the national flag and ending with the words: “Let’s hope for better days”, as he did last night in the program with Ofira.
If this surprising act by Barko is seen by many, especially Likud supporters, as a gimmick that should not be taken seriously, in my opinion, it is one of the more successful gimmicks seen on the small screen, which conveyed the message, more than all the interpretations and explanations. If you want: one gimmick is worth a thousand words.

Of course, he caused an uproar among right-wing supporters who called Barak insulting and offensive nicknames and questioned his abilities as a media person.
Barko, who sits among his people, knew that he would be slandered and slandered, and despite this, he stood up and said what was on his heart, without fear or fear (unlike the Likud members whom he rightly calls “a bunch of cowards”) and for that he deserves full credit.
Beyond that, in simple words, without philosophizing too much, Barko explained that as soon as people in the government who are infected with corruption and suspicion of corruption, they are the ones who appointed the judges to judge their actions, then it is a dictatorship. What is easier to understand than that? So you on the right can continue to attack him and mock him that he may understand football, but not politics, but at the end of the day, he tells the whole truth to his face, and the more you attack him, you only prove how painful this truth is.
Berkovic also said, and rightly so, in reference to the new government’s new trolling law related to the ban on the introduction of sour cream in hospitals and asked: What will the Arabs who make up the majority of the medical staff in hospitals throughout the country do now? And as Netanyahu said to the protesters, we will ask the exact same question back to him, “Did you fall on your head?”.

When Ron Huldai, the mayor of Tel Aviv, who was invited to the studio last night and of course spoke in condemnation of the coup d’état which is a danger to democracy, was asked, Ofira reminded him that actually the one who runs it is the Prime Minister, and maybe Huldai would like to address him directly through the camera. Huldai rejected her offer outright and stated that Bibi is willing to abandon the national interest, provided that Lamelt himself is not threatened with judgment, therefore there is no point in turning to him, because it is no longer possible to expect anything from him.
And if we’re talking about Netanyahu, let’s face the truth. All the responsibility rests on him and not on Simcha Rothman and Yriv Levin who are only secondary players. How then, Netanyahu lets them climb on his head and doesn’t immediately stop their run amok that deranges an entire country and embarrasses and embarrasses us in the whole world?
The argument of both of them, that they are implementing the reform, because that is what the Likud voters wanted, sucks. His voters wanted to take care of the cost of living, roads, medicine, personal and national security with many considerations and certainly not the judicial system which was the last thing that interested them. So don’t let them tell us stories.
Yesterday, poll results were also published that showed that the majority of the public does not support the coup, including Likud voters, and they are worried about the collapse of the economy, as predicted by the best economists, in Israel and around the world.
There is no avoiding asking: what happened to Bibi? The same Bibi, who once cared so much about what the world thought of him and who was once valued by the captains of the various countries. How is it possible that dozens of protesters take to the streets every week and he is not attentive to them? How is it possible that economists, including the current governor of the Bank of Israel and the former governor, and Shlomo Doverat, one of the most successful businessmen who warns that the collapse has already begun, and presents proofs and data, and Bibi closes his ears to their warnings? Could it be that Emomi took revenge on the justice system that dared to file charges against him, disrupted his judgment, which in the past was one of his strong points?
What happened to Bibi, who at other times contributed his experience and wisdom to economic prosperity, and today, is completely sealed off from criticism from professionals and experts? “So they’re all dumb?” Barko asks, and only Rothman, who until recently, no one knew or heard of, is he right and he is the man who will determine our fate?
