Prof. Cohen-Eliya: Netanyahu managed war brilliantly

Professor Moshe Cohen-Eliya responded Tuesday to the storm surrounding Galia Albin, who spoke dismissively and crudely against "Bibi-ists" and supporters of the prime minister.

In his remarks, Cohen-Eliya wrote: "The viral video of Galia Albin on Avi Shoshan's successful podcast teaches more than anything about the loss of racist shame in Israel. When Albin mimics supporters of Israel's government as a bunch of baboons whose only utterance is 'Bibi. Bibi' in a heavy Mizrahi accent, it's not just Albin talking."

"That's how almost all opposition supporters talk. The Mizrahi Bibi-ist baboon is a problem for them, because he counts exactly the same at the ballot box as the vote of the intelligentsia on the left, the woke people in Israeli academia, and the woke representatives in Israel's leftist media."

"And it's frustrating. What kind of democracy is this? Why do we 'the sophisticated ones' count the same as this baboon? After all, for four years they told us that 'democracy is dangerous,' that it's 'tyranny of the majority,' that it harms citizens' rights. For four years we've had Yitzhak Amit, Barak Medina, and the 'gatekeepers' protecting the old hegemony, and suddenly we, 'the most sophisticated of people', count the same as this miserable baboon, the 'Bibi. Bibi' supporter?"

The professor added: "I want to say something about this baboon with his 'Bibi. Bibi.' If there's one thing we've learned in the last four years, it's that from too much sophistication, from too much 'enlightened' Western approach, we attributed a desire for normal life, for arrangement, and for economic quiet to Hamas. Fortunately for the 'baboons,' they are not 'sophisticated,' because their common sense allows them to see reality as it is, which cannot be said about the 'over-sophistication' of Israel's woke elites."

"Galia Albin doesn't even pretend to be sophisticated (because she's simply embarrassing in her stupidity), but someone who sees himself as sophisticated (130-plus IQ) is Ilan Lukatch, who in a recent report he broadcast on Channel 12 News, which came to criticize the 'racism' in Netanyahu's campaign that allegedly elevates Mizrahim, actually reflected his own racism, 'the most sophisticated of people,' toward those despicable and brain-damaged 'Bibi-ists.'"

"So dear Lukatch, for your information, the origin of the word sophistication is connected to the Sophist tradition in ancient Greece, which Aristotle criticized, and rightly so, because it focused on the ability to persuade through rhetoric even at the expense of truth. Therefore, for hundreds of years the word 'sophistication' carried a negative meaning of distortion, falsification, and deception."

In conclusion, he added: "So sophistication is not necessarily wisdom. Sometimes it's just the ability to hide a lie behind complex arguments, while true wisdom is expressed in the ability to reveal truth in its simplicity."

"And the simple truth is that Netanyahu really managed this war brilliantly. And the simple truth is that you wanted to stop the war all the time. And the simple truth is that Netanyahu brought back all the hostages down to the last one, while you wanted to surrender and bring Hamas back to the border of the envelope communities. And the simple truth is that the legal system indeed fabricated a case against Prime Minister Netanyahu in order to topple the right, and this was exposed in the Jerusalem District Court."

"And the simple truth, my friend Ilan Lukatch with the high IQ, is that the Mizrahi baboon, the one who calls 'Bibi. Bibi,' is much smarter than the sophisticated gentlemen. Because the truth is simple and not sophisticated."
