Emergency elections?

“To face the Coronavirus, we mustHave an emergency government!”Cried Netanyahu two months ago.Now, Coronavirus comes back -And Netanyahu threatensTo break up that same government.Why? Because of the annexationIn which only 4% are interestedBut: the polls seem to flatter the LikudLet’s see in September what happensWhen a million unemployedGo to the polls in reality.

The mess

The German Foreign MinisterAsked not to implement annexation.So did the Emirati Ambassador.The army and security servicesWarn of grave consequences.Even the settlers are notEnthusiastic about annexation.Will all that influence Netanyahu?On the contrary!Ongoing controversy,Election rumours,He needs that spectacleTo divert attention fromThe mess he is in.We are in.

No guarantee

Annexing Palestinian territory -What is the big deal?Isn’t our army there anyway?It is turning a “temporary” occupationInto permanent Apartheid.A highly explosive situation,Whose South Africa style solutionIs not at all guaranteed.

Less than Bantustans

“I am going to annexThe Jordan Valley,But the Palestinians thereWill not get Israeli citizenship.We will just keep them in enclaves”,So explained Netanyahu.Enclaves for the Palestinians?That’s even less than Bantustans.Still, anyone who daresCall us “an Apartheid state”Is of courseAn anti-Semite!

Juggler

Netanyahu, the juggler!From the dockHe puts his judges on trial,At the same time promotingAnnexation which will put an endTo the threat ofPeace with the Palestinians,And also at the same timeSmashing the peace with Jordan.A highly talented man!

The Hague

The new government is worriedAbout the International CourtIn the Hague.Would it then not be betterTo shelve the annexation plans?Annexing territory unilaterallyIs a violation of International Law,And might be added to the charge sheetAgainst the leaders of the State of Israel…

Impunity

Will Netanyahu convinceThe Court in JerusalemTo let him hold officeAs Prime MinisterEven while being indictedFor taking bribes?Can he also convinceThe Court in the HagueTo let him violateInternational LawWith impunity?

The enablers

With the new governmentNetanyahu will be able to doWhat until now he couldn’t:Annex to IsraelWhat should have becomeThe Palestinian state,The death blowTo any hopeOf a peaceful future.Our special thanks to the enablersBenny Gantz and Amir Peretz.
