Ben Caspit: Netanyahu, you have become something between Nixon and Riklin

Hello Bibi. First of all, thank you. You put me in line with good people: Roni Alshikh, the deputy head of the Shin Bet, the hero of Israel, who conspired to overthrow an incumbent prime minister. Avichai Mandelblit, a reserve general, a doctor of law, Police officers, investigators, lawyers and other public servants, who have turned your mouths and mouths into mouths into Israel, a gang of thugs whose goal is the destruction of Zion.

I do not believe that the real Benjamin Netanyahu, hereinafter Dr. Netanyahu, would have written the post of incitement from the bridle that you dedicated to me today. The person who wrote it is not Dr. Netanyahu, but Mr. Bibi. The person who wrote this band-aid, who allows the blood of a journalist in Israel, is not the mighty leader you could be, but the dangerous mutation you have become. I’m following you for generations. At first in amazement, with bated breath. Then with concern. Today it is already in monsters. Where will it end? No one knows. They said they would burn the whole country to escape the terror of the law. They were right.

The incitement for which you are responsible has turned the lives of many into a nightmare. Liat Ben-Ari’s family went through a horrific experience. Her sister’s family also died. It lasted months. The family of fighter pilot Tam Farkash, who fell in the Second Lebanon War, your neighbors in Caesarea, tasted the blasphemous words of your fans. The Attorney General, Betar and Jabotinsky are proud, find himself compared to Hitler and glorify the top of the assassination lists. And you go on, as if for nothing.

You have been warned of incitement in the past, but you are a poplar. Then what happened happened. Turns out you did not learn a lesson. Say, Bibi, seriously: you have a great many followers. Some are excellent people (like my late father), some are brainwashed and unrestrained. Did you mean? Did not you know? Did not you think? Did not you appreciate? I do not have either. You do not see the writing on the wall?

And what happened to the declarations that “there will be nothing because there is nothing” and the promises that everything will be shelved by the State Attorney, everything will be closed with the Attorney General, the cases will collapse at the hearing? Do you really believe I indicted you? I demanded and received gifts in the hundreds of thousands of shekels? I was funded by billionaires? I took over the media for billions of taxpayer money? It’s not me, Bibi. It’s you. seemingly.

Have you ever considered the simple option of proving your innocence in court? Yes, this is what mortals tend to do when the state files an indictment against them. But you are probably not mortal. You decided to destroy the country so as not to confront the charges. On the way there, you run into me too and make me the one who knocked you down. So thanks for that too.

And for that matter: you claim I’m chasing you. You remember you’re the most powerful prime minister ever here and I’m just a journalist, right? You know how much energy your wife was wasting, with your help, to cut off my livelihood, yes? The things were verified from the witness stand in court. You are not the persecuted, Mr. Netanyahu. You are the pursuer. Not just mine, of an entire public in the State of Israel and especially of democracy.

And I have news for you: I’m not afraid of you and I have never been afraid of you. The more power you gain, the less it scares me. The more the trumpet trumpet bumpers attack me, the more I will be challenged. I will continue to pry, expose, inquire, research and publish materials that are suspected of corruption. Along with another handful of brave journalists left in this country. If the police ask for these materials from me, I will give them willingly. No I made the police start the investigations against you. They called me, and it’s good that way. I cooperated with them just as I cooperated when they asked me for materials about Ehud Barak (then, you did not revolt) or in the Harpaz affair or on many other occasions. Not that I had any doubt where the current blood plot that makes me the head of the great serpent and devil came from. What surprised me was the fact that you dared to join it on your behalf. You respond to Gideon Saar via the Likud’s Twitter account. You are commenting on Ben Mercury in your account. Shamelessly.

I have no codes of silence, Mr. Netanyahu. On the contrary. Codes of silence exist in crime families, the underworld and among criminals. In a democracy the code of free communication is exposure. I have been publishing stories and testimonies of seemingly corrupt conduct in your affairs for decades. I have no more arrogant achievement than the fact that these publications were found to be true after three serious charges were filed against you, including bribery. Forever I will take this achievement with me everywhere. Thank you for helping me now. A journalist has no more significant accomplishment than indictments filed following his investigations, though in your case I am a junior supporting actor. I did not have a part in the 2000 case or the 4000 case, it turns out that I helped open the investigation in the 1000 case. Better than nothing.

It seems to me that his father-in-law journalist was the first to ever compare you to Richard Nixon. After all, he, too, stormed with all his might at the two reporters (Woodward and Bernstein) who exposed Watergate (no, I do not compare myself to them, very petty). Nixon also sought to impose censorship at some point on their paper. How it ended, everyone knows.

Bibi, most of all you’re a tragedy. Of yourself and ours. You are one of the most talented people who have been here. You could be a combination of Ben-Gurion and Churchill. Then it turned out you were going more in Nixon’s direction. Today I suddenly realized that your role model is Shimon Riklin. how sad.
