It's been hard to hear news lately.
It seems as if the gallows is ready and all that is needed is to decide who will be hanged on it for his own glory, for the glory of his family, and for the glory of his people and homeland.
Each time someone else finds themselves hanging from the pole.
Sometimes, after everyone has their eyes fixed on him, he is taken down from the gallows and thrown to the dogs, without anyone knowing about it and without anyone noticing that he came out unblemished.
Sometimes, that person passes through the path that leads to prison, a place where he will find himself with the same friends he was with in the House of Representatives.
The question is constantly asked: Are people in our generation more rebellious than they were in the past? Or does the very act of engaging in these offenses only highlight the people who have essentially not changed from those who lived before them.
We, members of the public who try not to give too much ostentatious publicity to acts of corruption and evil, understand that the very publicity and preoccupation with them leads to another wave, larger than the previous one, of additional acts by irresponsible people, who say to themselves: 'If this becomes normative and normal behavior, maybe it won't be so bad that I too will be in this "not bad" society.'.
It is sad to see how bringing things out of hiding and glorifying the recurring incidents fail to mitigate the phenomena and eradicate them. On the contrary, since acts that should not be done are made public, it has become routine, and sadly, things are no longer fascinating, they no longer shake the heart, as they were in the past, and they are not helpful.

Sometimes we are a little too harsh when it comes to judging people.
Take, for example, a former prime minister who, on his way to prison, went through every possible path of humiliation, was both removed from his position, humiliated to the point of utter humiliation, and received every imaginable verbal beating.
That's not enough for us. If we can get a few more beatings on the way, why not? So photographers are waiting to document every second from the moment he gets out of his car until he enters the slaughterhouse, and so that we can all live the moment and feel every breath of the honored prisoner, we also receive clear and wonderful descriptions of his room, his bed, and his uniform.
I don't know what this does to you.
I don't understand who exactly this is supposed to benefit and which of the viewers it's supposed to calm down...

The drops of blood haven't even been wiped off the charred windows of the Egged bus and the driver, who may have caused the accident, is already facing a field trial.
Anyone who knows his behavior is quick to tell about it, even if it's a conference call. And whoever uses a lot of whippings is a good one.
I'm not here to defend people who have caused harm to others, but I don't think that when our dead are laid out before us, we should look for someone to blame and decide in a moment's notice who is to blame.
I know there is no smoke without fire, even though life teaches us that there is, but where is the degree of restraint required of us in times like these?
Let's bury our dead, who unfortunately would have died in any other way, because that's how they were destined to die.
Let us bow our heads in humility, on the days of the Sabbath, for we know that everything comes from Him, blessed be He.
Then, when our minds are settled, after things have become clear as they really are, we can, as usual, begin to whip, flog, and behead the one who, in our opinion (still without trial), caused all this horror.
