Discussing opposition politician Gadi Eisenkot, the pro-Netanyahu channel achieved the identity-politics singularity: ethnicity is no longer inherited but determined at the ballot box. All you need to do is ask how someone votes. Bibi? You’re Mizrahi. Anti-Bibi? Mazel tov, you’re Ashkenazi
Identity politics has imploded. This week, right-wing media personality Yinon Magal said about opposition politician Gadi Eisenkot that “They’re always bringing up Eisenkot’s mother with her head covering and her Moroccan accent. With all due respect, his daughter got married on Shabbat evening not long ago, without a rabbi or chuppah.”
