Israel is a very unusual case. The only common denominator connecting 80% of its citizens is simply being Jewish, but this ethnic character is precisely what makes the country diverse, as those Jews come from vastly different cultural backgrounds.

But during the last couple of years this divergence has been getting sharper. The turning point was in January 2023 when Netanyahu's new government started to pass laws that could reform the court in a way that deeply threatens liberal democracy.

Today the continuation of the war has pushed this split to the breaking point, while the new and blessed agreement can only improve it to some extent and temporarily.

I will add here posts, videos and tweets showing the diversity in opinions and stances in Israel, and broader, sort of cold civil war happening here.

Right-wing sectors are anyway over (and almost solely) emphasized in the international media so I will show them a little less here and will focus on many other voices.

All posts are new and from these days, often from the same day or week they are posted (unless I will mention something else). Also all the posts are by Israelis 🇮🇱 only and always translated from Hebrew.

The thread is time-limited 📆 and seasonal. I mean, literally seasonal🌧, until early or mid-winter (January maybe) then I will take a break for a month or two from personal threads, and then perhaps will open something similar with a bit different vibe and temperament to keep it fresh, or even a different Israeli related topic that will fit the theme of the time.

I will try (apart from today) to add no more than one update every 1-2 days so as not to dominate the forum landscape too strongly and to really make it a choice to read for whoever truly wants to. 

You are welcome to ask anything you want
and to debate.
