Israel Hayom is a media organization founded on the belief that the Israeli public deserves better journalism—more balanced, more accurate, and more reliable. Journalism that speaks rather than shouts. Journalism that is trustworthy, objective, and matter-of-fact. A different kind of journalism, offered free of charge. The first print edition was published on July 30, 2007, and in 2010 Israel Hayom became the Israeli newspaper with the highest weekday readership. The newspaper’s publisher is Dr. Miriam Adelson. Its Editor-in-Chief is Omar Lachmanovitch, and its founding editor is Amos Regev. Israel Hayom’s Hebrew and English websites, as well as its Android and iOS applications, provide around-the-clock news coverage, exclusive content, breaking news and updates, analysis and commentary, video, podcasts, and live broadcasts. The digital platforms of Israel Hayom include news and opinion channels covering culture and entertainment, lifestyle, technology, sports, business and consumer affairs, health, military affairs, food, Judaism, tourism, and automobiles. In 2021, a new Hebrew-language website and mobile application were launched to provide users with a fast, up-to-date, secure, and convenient experience. The content of the newspaper’s print edition is also available online through a daily digital edition and can be received via newsletter. “The Israel Hayom Clique,” the publication’s exclusive benefits club, offers website users discounts and special promotions on products and services. Israel Hayom welcomes feedback, criticism, and suggestions for improvement from its readers. You can contact the organization by email at hayom@israelhayom.co.il

The arrogance of the crumbling Left

The Left, in light of the crashing of the concept of the elections, has turned to a strategy similar to civil disobedience, in which they threaten unstoppable social collapse.

The Left is once again trying to choose who will lead the right-wing camp. Once again, they attempt to tell us who is the right person for our ambitions and interests. Arrogance. They stand there and explain to themselves that they want Benjamin Netanyahu to disappear from our lives, and then they'll embrace us. Forget it. Wake up from this delusion that you know better than us what we want. We held three general elections in the last year and explicitly showed we prefer Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud to lead the country for the next decade.

The Left, in light of the crashing of the concept of the elections, has turned to a strategy similar to civil disobedience, in which they threaten unstoppable social collapse. They believe that the pressure from the coronavirus, together with the demonstrations at Balfour, will dictate to us who will lead or not lead the country. Wishful thinking.

Instead of focusing on us you should try, you members of the cult of arrogance, to choose for yourself someone who will lead you, that you'll stick with without changing like one changes socks. Try to do it for one year. But loyalty isn't your thing. Your pathetic attempts during the last meal before the holiday, or hurling cow feces at the Knesset, indeed do bring closer, or actually bring you closer, to your stated goal – anarchy.

Instead, just keep on dressing your resident clown in ridiculous clothes and parade around Jerusalem. If it had been us dressing a clown in the image of a woman with her private parts exposed in public or waving inflatable sexual organs, you would be screaming to the sky how vulgar and primitive we are. We know. You can do it - but we're not allowed. With you, it's irony, satire, and high culture, alongside an interface for exposing the imagined political possibilities of undressing and exposing a breast atop state symbols. With us its rudeness and tastelessness. But truly, seeing you protest and the right-wing consistently growing week after week, it's probably the only result of your coronavirus parties, which don't infect anyone.

Why don't you decide already who you want as leader? Do you want Yair Lapid, who is scared of holding primaries in his party, for fear of being overthrown? He created a leader-party where he is the only one who decides, and you critique the Likud, who unifies willingly, in agreement and especially through free elections around the members of its slate and its leader?

Maybe the Left will choose the liberal and enlightened Avigdor Liberman, who will lead a moderate and balanced policy – especially with diplomatic gusto – after he bombs the Aswan Dam in Egypt and pushes out all the Arabs from Israel? Or maybe you'll open your tiny toolbox and find another general, who'll promise you in the election ads resilience for Israel?

Yes, we want elections the moment the pandemic is under control and will allow for it. We're united around the Likud and Netanyahu and know what we want. You, again, will tell us who isn't right to lead us and you'll find yourselves rolling in what you threw at the Knesset.
