The Last man not on facebook?

Dear Ehud Barack, 

I’m writing this to you as a former supporter, you could maybe say as a former worshiper. You’ve got to go. I spent the better part of my young life runnning around the country and trying to get people to support you, to believe in you. I didn’t only do it in 1999 when it was easy, i was there in 2001 standing at the junctions, having to put up with nonstop abuse from the passing drivers and pedestrians. I was called naive, stupid and blind. How can you not see they used to ask me. And me? I just kept telling people that they don’t understand you, that you have a master plan. That if we just let you stay on as prime minister for your whole term, you’d prove them all wrong. You’d make this country better, you’d bring us peace. The night you lost the elections in 2001, i was devastated, i felt that my world was coming to an end. Had i not done enough? had i not convinced enough people? Maybe one more sleepless night was what was in order. Did i let you down?

Hell Ehud, I was there waiting for you even when you came back to the labour party. I came back to support you, to help you, to bring people to vote for you. In the previous elections i even went back out there to convince people that you were still the one. That we need to give you the chance because with your analytical skills and vision, you were the only one to be trusted with our future. And Ehud, when you joined bibi’s right wing government i was disappointed but truly believed you were there in order to try and influence the government in a way that will help to better this country.

Over the past year, you’ve managed to lose all public support, and i think maybe even worse, my support. You probably couldn’t care less, you can write me off as another one that just doesn’t understand. You can keep using those big statements about History being your judge and that in the long run we’ll all see what you have done. Your decisions and general conduct have been reminiscent only to an elephant in a china shop. Everyone you touch turns to coal.

Ehud, the first rule of leadership is to have the people’s support. Look back, you are a general with no soldiers.

To quote John Major, the former british PM “sometimes the curtain comes down and its time to leave the stage”.

Ehud, Go Home.

Yours Sincerely

Yoav
