Well I did it – i signed up for the leftist party – Democratim.  

They seem to be the only ones acknowledging the chaos in the West Bank, although the other parties gently criticize the government for their responsibility in the October 7 carastrophe and the corruption that led to it and has grown since then.  Every time I think of the hostages and the way they were ignored in 2023, I am overwhelmed by the moral slippage in the present government.  

Now it is clear that I should be following the more rational policy of waiting to see who  has the best chance of toppling the government and casting my vote with them, but I can’t take the chance.  I have been playing rational too long.  I have to follow my beliefs as far as I can.
