Middle Israel: Netanyahu's election lies pose a dangerous threat to Israeli democracy - opinion
Netanyahu's election lies go beyond political deception, threatening public trust in democracy and deepening divisions that could tear Israeli society apart.
Adlai Stevenson understood the 1952 U.S. presidential race was lost, yet he bravely advocated for honesty, promising to cease lying if the Republicans did the same. This reminds us of the current situation in Israel's newly elected Knesset, where many lawmakers espouse problematic views toward the Jewish state. However, claims of fraudulent elections are false, as confirmed by Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, former Shin Bet head David Zini, and Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara.
Despite this truth, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has continued to fabricate lies, indicating that his removal must take precedence over addressing ultra-Orthodox enlistment issues.
