Israel's Election Campaign: An Ongoing Look at All Candidates in Their Own Words

[Nivsch]

@Husseinisdoingfine I think Mansour Abbas seek to represent the Arab population and go towards cooperation, at least this is my intuition. Look at his party's Wikipedia page:

Bennett

Bennett: " They called it ‘NAZA’ — N-A-Z-A. Why did they do that? Because it evokes an association with ‘Nazi.’ It’s disgusting.”

Interviewer: " I think the world today has so little patience left for us, partly because of the actions of this government, and we've talked about that. And I think that coming along with some kind of lip service that may have worked for us in the past simply isn't going to work anymore. So yes, there is logic in what you're saying. "

Bennett: "Israel's standing in the world is indeed a catastrophe. This government has left scorched earth behind. It was a combination of antisemitism and 25 years of Qatari activity, which was also part of a misconception that we failed to notice. The State of Israel did not define Qatar or view it as an enemy, combined with the Israeli government's own self-inflicted damage, day and night—the worst government in Israel's history.

Every day that Ben Gvir walks around with a noose on his... whatever, takes selfies next to handcuffed terrorists, and talks about transfer; while another minister talks about dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran; and Zvi Sukkot comes in with a hammer and tries to tear down a monument to terrorists—or doesn't quite manage because he's a little weak, but tries anyway—these things, the film Naza, this disgusting film that's now coming out abroad, they're all self-inflicted wounds.

Imagine you have a magazine full of credit. This uses up all your credit. And then, when you actually need to do things that you genuinely have to do, you've run out of credit. So how do you reload the magazine? How do you fill it up again?

The plan is an Israeli renaissance—within Israel, in our relations with our neighbors, with the region, and with the world. To tell a new story. First of all, stop doing stupid things. It sounds like a small thing, but if this government would just stop doing stupid things every day, we'd already be making progress.

I'll give you an example from today. There's this disgusting film, Naza. Why did they call it that? Because it's meant to evoke an association with “Nazi.” It's “Naz”—it sounds like “Nazi.” Couldn't they have called it Collateral Damage? They did it deliberately. It's disgusting. It's a tendency toward self-flagellation.

When, in fact, the very fact that we systematically operate a “Naza” [collateral-damage] framework refutes their entire argument. There is no genocide. The Germans didn't have “Naza.” They didn't operate with “Naza. ”
