Not a Coincidence!

It is not a coincidence that at the very moment Ben Gvir was sworn in as "Minister of National Security" in the Knesset, a right-wing supporter ran over protester Oded Rotem, a leader in the "Standing Together" movement.

This appointment boosts the confidence of right-wing criminals, allowing them to attack protesters without fear of punishment.

It also provides the same sense of security and satisfaction to the heads of crime organizations in Arab society.

And perhaps it is no coincidence that our Defense Minister, along with our army, entered a Gaza that belongs to no one, abandoned by all.

Netanyahu has left the citizens of this country with no security—neither from the Ministry of Defense nor from the Ministry of National Security. No security inside, no security outside. We are trapped.

All we are left with is the fear that this could lead to the deaths of our hostages while leaving Hamas intact.

That it could leave us with crime organizations while killing Arab citizens.

And Ben Gvir will celebrate after all, this is how he will gain more seats in the next elections.

Unless we rise and act! Unless we rise and shout. Unless we rise and protest. Unless we rise and unite—Arabs and Jews—against the catastrophe that awaits us.
