""So what did we have here? A fifth or maybe sixth election on the way (who knows), the party platforms are a mystery, besides discrediting and telling us how bad the other party is, we have no idea how much 'good' the parties are going to shower us with.".
""I just know that the happy chosen one will fly to the coveted chair, wait for a phone call from the US President, bite his nails, calculate how long it took to invite his predecessor to the coveted meeting, and then the long-awaited call will come, and overnight the chosen one will step onto the plane ramp, wave his hands to the chosen people, he is traveling to bring peace and perhaps security. So there is no peace and security is also long gone, and what about us citizens of the country, who will make peace between us, who will maintain our security?""
When a surfer responded to her with a link to the Yesh Atid party platform, Edna responded to him and wrote about Prime Minister Yair Lapid: "A person who doesn't say thank you for the work I did for him, I prepared Biden's entire visit for him, I lost vacation days, money, and more, and he didn't see fit to call me to thank me and say goodbye to me properly, he's not a person I would choose, I'm sorry, and he's someone I chose in the past.".
One of the surfers tried to recommend honesty about Lapid - and wrote: "He is a real man. He was probably busy with his job. There is no doubt that he simply slipped away from it. He always thanked everyone who worked for him and around him.".
To this she replied: "What is busy? I worked for 50 years, both when I was sick and during the tragic events I went through, what is it that he neglected? I took care of him every time Biden visited, even though I didn't have to. What's the problem with saying thank you and good luck? What is this disrespect?""
