The Hebrew newspaper "Maariv" - General Yitzhak Barik: - Israeli society is not only divided, but it is also living in the midst of a silent civil war. The loud hatred between different sectors, communities and groups has reached such levels that it cannot be extinguished. When national immunity turns to ashes, and the social fabric becomes poisoned, there is no way for a renaissance for this country. The country's growth engines are stalling one after another. Doctors, scientists, high-tech entrepreneurs and business leaders - the elite minds who took charge of the economy and the health care system - are packing their bags and leaving. Thus, the experience, knowledge and professional abilities gained over decades of hard work are lost and leave behind us a void that we will never find someone to fill. The erosion has reached its roots. The rule of law and democratic institutions are fading, while the public sector is becoming an arena for superficial political appointments, where blind loyalty takes precedence over competence and integrity. A country where the law is nothing more than a proposal, and where justice is trampled on, will inevitably descend into chaos. Anyone who observes reality with a clear and open vision understands that "Israel" is not only going through a "passing storm", but it is sliding towards the abyss, as if it were a shipwreck in a stormy sea, about to sink.
