“We vote according to our culture, we vote for those who do not underestimate our faith, our tradition, those who do not treat us as lacking understanding not able to decide and choose what is really important to us.”
This is an excellent explanation of voter choice.
My dad used to tell me that we should always try to understand things from the other person's point if view. It took me years to understand that he didn't mean I had to agree with them. We just have to remember that our experiences affect our beliefs and decisions.
“a U.S. senior administration official speaking on condition of anonymity” if a SENIOR official doesn’t have the guts to openly speak he or she should be fired.
I have complaints about Netanyahu as a politician, a leader and a representative of the government in the country.
But I also know that politicians always act in their own interests, the interests of their parties first and foremost. And my task as a citizen is to vote for those politicians whose interests coincide with the interests of the state.
But no politician who is fundamentally no different from the politician Netanyahu has the moral right to reproach him for what he does himself.
Let me remind you that Biden's decision to "put America's national interests above personal ambitions" was made only after it became impossible to hide how much these personal ambitions do not coincide with the interests of the state. If it had been possible to hide this until now, then Biden's personal ambitions or the interests of the Democratic Party would still be above America's national interests.
I did not want to touch on the topic of American politics at all, but since this affects Israeli politics and distorts the view of American-Israeli politics, I expressed my opinion.
I’m convinced that the party system is a huge part of the problem, we should be voting for local individuals who have no alliance with a far flung party and who represent local people and their interests, which will, as you say be varied.
Thank you, Joshua, for again giving me ‘food for thought’. As I become involved in local (Canadian) politics for the first time ever, and remain concerned about US, Canadian and Israeli federal politics, your wisdom will come in handy.
