It's not that complicated.
Decent people are finding it increasingly difficult - at times impossible - to support a country which is doing what we are doing.
They are not imagining, or merely succumbing to a so-called hostile press, or taking at face value fantasies and falsehoods generated by AI. To a very large extent, they are seeing what we are in reality doing. Us.
Much of Israeli society is gripped by clinical denial, unable to look at ourselves without filters and without blinders, and to recognize what has become of us.
These elections (almost certainly in October) will do much to decide the fate of the Third Jewish Commonwealth. Tikkun is imperative. Our enemies are hoping we fail, and too many of our friends are walking away in disgust.
