Far-Left Plan: Alienate Voters, Then Say Absence From Power Proves Israel Undemocratic, Get NGO Funding

“The only way to save Israeli democracy is to deny it.”

Tel Aviv, January 23 – The dismal electoral prospects of the parties and factions who have made concessions to Palestinian demands a cornerstone of their platforms and ideology acknowledged again today that, given the impossibility of attaining elected office in the wake of the horrors of October 7, their only hope remains to gain influence through the non-elected channel of appealing to international NGOs and governments unhappy with the electoral reality by adducing the fact that the Knesset will contain no lawmakers from those progressive parties to show that the country in fact cannot claim political legitimacy or justify itself, smoothing the way for those unelected progressives to ride their international support to seize enough influence to control the government.

Members of Meretz, a far-left party that failed to meet the electoral threshold in the November 2022 contest – marking their first absence from the legislative body for the first time in decades – agreed this with several other left-wing parties, and individuals formerly of other left-wing parties, to leverage their forecasted absence from the Knesset for the foreseeable future to attract mainly European attention, funding, and, they hope eventually, power, by pointing to that absence as proof that the Jewish state’s claim to “the only real democracy in the Middle East” rings false.

“Counterintuitively, the only way to save Israeli democracy is to deny it,” explained Meretz Chairwoman Zehava Gal-On. “It’s one of those paradoxical realities, such as, ‘If you wish for peace prepare for war,’ except that we don’t really buy that one. Ours would be more like, ‘If you wish for peace, wish for peace and magically the people who have always wanted to exterminate you will grow out of it, so give them money, weapons, and land.’ For some reason that message isn’t popular in Israel right now, which means Israel is no longer democratic.”

“We need to fix that,” agreed Yossi Beilin, formerly of the Labor Party and now a main proponent of an initiative to reward Palestinian terrorism by giving the terrorists incentives to continue committing terrorism, in that Israeli concessions demonstrate to the terrorists that terrorism works. “If the Israeli electorate fails to recognize that ours is the path of peace – and for some reason they get hung up on Palestinian violence as if that’s an important hurdle to peace, can you imagine? – then the electorate has lost its legitimacy as a reliable player in democracy. Democracy means progressiveness. Everyone knows that. If the people fail to vote for us, that just means democracy must be saved by other means.”

“In this case, ‘other means’ means getting foreign funding to subvert the voters’ will,” he added.
