@naamalazimi.bsky.social , The Democrats’ MK: “Yocheved Lifshitz symbolizes strength & humanity. Netanyahu made Hamas an asset. He should bow his head to a woman who survived captivity, whose husband was murdered. Not surprised Likud members wish for Yocheved’s return to Hamas. Horrifying.”

❤️🙏 to 10,000s of citizens, many from the right, who rejected conspiracies. Debates are deep but we’re 1 people loving this country. On Oct 7, many Israelis rose up. They didn’t ask each other who they voted for. They faced hell to save lives. Their heorism belongs to all of 🇮🇱.

We condemn Sara Netanyahu’s slanderous statements on Ch14. Conspiracy theories against @yairgolan.bsky.social & the smearing of his heroism on Oct 7 cross a red line. While Netanyahu powdered his face & searched for excuses, @yairgolan.bsky.social charged forward & saved lives. Facts won’t change.

Everyone knows where Maj. Gen. (res.) @yairgolan.bsky.social was on Oct 7. Do you know where he was days after? He visited farms, soldiers, evacuees & asked: "What do you need?" Everywhere he heard: "Amazing people help but there’s no state". Yair is a leader & hero. Exactly what 🇮🇱 needs.

The next elections are not only about replacing Netanyahu, they’re also about the identity of our state: either a Jewish & democratic state following the values of the Declaration of Independence, or a violent & extremist Kahaneist state.
