Lapid may have chosen to join the Opposition, but he is still
doing his utmost to stay in the limelight. Sometimes, the work is being done by
his cronies, and the methods they use and messages they are delivering to us are
more subtle than you may think.
For example, take the following article by former Yesh
Atid Knesset Member Dov Lipman (and currently chairman of Anglo and Diaspora
Affairs for Yesh Atid) in the August 28, 2015 Jerusalem Post. The article
is ostensibly entitled: Israel is in dire need of a leader with 'the Trump
Factor.'
The whole article analyzes Donald Trump’s startling
success in the polls in the United States. Then, comes Lipman's finale:
“Israel is in dire need of a leader with the Trump Factor:
“A man of the people” who recognizes the need to address the “smaller”
day-to-day concerns of the population; who has the will and courage to think outside
the box to find the most simple solutions to our challenges; and someone with
the freedom and moral clarity to make decisions that are in the best interest
of the country completely independent of special interests. Such a leader will
get Israel back on course, and make Israel great again.”
I guess that Dov Lipman is asking us, the readers, to conclude
that Yair Lapid is the one with the Trump Factor in Israeli politics. Now, Dov, that
one wasn’t very hard. But why didn't you just come out and say who you really were talking about?
