"דברים שרואים מכאן לא רואים משם": השיעור שהפוליטיקאים שוכחים

הערכה

Israeli politicians are drawing red lines ahead of elections, but political history shows these lines rarely survive the coalition negotiations that follow. Liberman, Golan, and Eisenkot are each staking out positions now, yet the lesson from Begin, Rabin, and every government since is that campaign promises bend to the arithmetic of power. The real question is which of these declared principles will hold when seats are counted and a government must be formed.
