Why do senior Likud members receive the defense of "temporary insanity due to primaries"?
Viewing the disgraceful conduct of Israel Katz through the prism of the primaries trivializes the enormous damage that people like him cause before, after, and during the internal elections in the Likud.
Assessment
The piece argues that attributing the conduct of senior Likud figures like Israel Katz to primary season madness trivializes the real damage they inflict. It suggests this framing lets destructive behavior off the hook by reducing it to a temporary electoral phenomenon. The reader should watch whether this critique gains traction within internal party debates or remains dismissed as campaign rhetoric.
