The Knesset is suffering from malignant Kahanism. On Sunday, it enacted a law unrelated to the government coup, the legislative process of which did not encounter public or parliamentary opposition and did not earn its supporters cries of “shame on you!” Yet it is no less dangerous to democracy than the coup, and it proves that the processes of fascism are in full swing.

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

This is merely the same system that has been used for decades to oppress Palestinians. Fascism does not stop growing and will come for people who thought they were part of the in group.
