I mean, that is a very quick road to hell.

Right.

I mean, if the only thing that you're allowed to do is whatever it is, the dear leader in the majority.

Oh, it's much more nuanced than that.

I mean, I do believe that there will be a different government of Israel after the elections that are coming up this fall.

75% of Israelis disapprove of Bibi Netanyahu as prime minister.

So, you know, you're going to see him...

unable to form a next government.

The question is, will the opposition be able to come together because they are left, right, and center, Arab, Jewish.

I mean, they're all over the map.

And will they be able to form an alternative government because it's a crazy parliamentary system?

But I believe there will be a different government.

I believe that government will reverse some

of the really worst things that this government is doing.

But this new government, even if it is led by somebody from the center, right, instead of the extreme right, um, is going to be nowhere near a J street position.

And we're still going to have arguments with the Israeli government, uh, over occupation, over settlements, over treatment of Palestinians, over human rights.

Um, all of these things that are core to the center of American Jewish opinion, um,

will not be central to Israeli Jewish opinion until there's really a change in leadership that takes us way to the other end of the spectrum.

So J Street is inherently a political organization, right?

We are going to try to move the center of the political debate.
