Opposition
leader Isaac Herzog believes that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "is
using the Tisha B'Av syndrome" to scare the people of Israel, the Zionist
Union wrote on his Facebook on Saturday.
"Netanyahu
is slowly sowing deep anxieties into the hearts of the nation, and has an
unbalanced effect on our national emotions. It must stop," Herzog wrote.
Tisha B'Av, an annual fast day which commemorates the
destruction of both the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem, will be marked
on Sunday
In the Jerusalem Post article “The
Gospel according to Lapid”, Sarah Honig wrote:
“Opportunism according to the dictionary definition is “the
conscious policy and practice of taking selfish advantage of circumstances –
with little regard for principles or consequences. Opportunist actions are
expedient actions guided primarily by self-interested motives.”
Apparently, Herzog is no better than Lapid. Either Herzog
understands the threat coming from Iran, and that therefore Netanyahu
is telling the truth ( see below the list of threats ), or he does not. If he does,
he is an opportunist. If he does not, what is he doing as the leader of the
opposition?
