Now residing in Shilo with his wife and five children, he serves on the executive board of Israel\u2019s Media Watch and has contributed to renowned publications such as <em data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1113\">The Los Angeles Times<\/em>, <em data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1135\">The Jerusalem Post<\/em>, and the <em data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1175\">International Herald Tribune<\/em>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"\" data-start=\"1178\" data-end=\"1181\" \/>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1204\">Not Just Politics<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1505\">\u201cObservers may be puzzled by the level of antagonism toward Netanyahu,\u201d Medad writes, \u201cbut this is not merely about policy disagreements.\u201d He cites flare gun attacks on the Prime Minister\u2019s residence and the discovery of weapons at the home of a prominent protest leader as signs of a deeper crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1507\" data-end=\"1785\">According to Medad, the political discourse has crossed into what he calls \u201ca shrill, derogatory and ultimately dangerous\u201d territory, with roots reaching back to the ideological rift between Labor Zionists led by David Ben-Gurion and Revisionist Zionists under Ze\u2019ev Jabotinsky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1787\" data-end=\"2027\">He argues that beneath the claims of authoritarianism and extremism leveled against the Likud party lies an unresolved struggle over the soul and structure of the Zionist project\u2014one that began decades before the establishment of the state.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"\" data-start=\"2029\" data-end=\"2032\" \/>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2065\">Historical Echoes from 1933<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2067\" data-end=\"2542\">Medad revisits a lesser-known but symbolically potent moment in Zionist history: the Passover parade of 1933. On April 17 of that year, Betar youth marched down Tel Aviv\u2019s Allenby Road only to be assaulted by stone-throwers, some targeting 8- to 12-year-old participants. The violence, stoked by Mapai-aligned institutions, led to widespread media condemnation of Betar and sparked a campaign portraying the group as fascist, based merely on the brown hues of their uniforms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2544\" data-end=\"2737\">\u201cThe attacks weren\u2019t spontaneous,\u201d Medad emphasizes. Flyers were prepared in advance, and militant rhetoric had already permeated the ranks of the Histadrut, the powerful socialist labor union.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2739\" data-end=\"2959\">This period, he argues, foreshadowed future episodes of internal Jewish conflict\u2014such as the Palmach\u2019s controversial &#8220;Saison&#8221; operation against the Irgun and the 1948 shelling of the Altalena ship by Ben-Gurion\u2019s forces.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"\" data-start=\"2961\" data-end=\"2964\" \/>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"2966\" data-end=\"3006\">The Roots of First and Second Israel<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3008\" data-end=\"3180\">At the heart of Medad\u2019s reflection lies a broader socio-political analysis: the entrenched division between what has come to be known as \u201cFirst Israel\u201d and \u201cSecond Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3182\" data-end=\"3543\">The former, he explains, consists of the Ashkenazi elite\u2014descendants of early European pioneers who built institutions like the Histadrut and dominated the kibbutz and political scenes. The latter includes Jews from Middle Eastern countries\u2014Sepharadim and Mizrachim\u2014who arrived post-independence and found themselves marginalized in jobs, politics, and housing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3545\" data-end=\"3747\">The Histadrut\u2019s \u201cred booklet\u201d became symbolic of inclusion or exclusion. Without it, newcomers struggled to access opportunities, a system Medad describes as a \u201cmulti-institutional controlling complex.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3749\" data-end=\"3919\">This schism, first identified in the 1950s and popularized in the 1970s, laid the groundwork for Likud\u2019s 1977 rise to power and remains embedded in contemporary politics.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"\" data-start=\"3921\" data-end=\"3924\" \/>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"3926\" data-end=\"3957\">Zionism\u2019s Original Argument<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3959\" data-end=\"4170\">Medad references Jabotinsky\u2019s 1925 essay <em data-start=\"4000\" data-end=\"4012\">\u201cThe Left\u201d<\/em>, which critiqued Labor Zionism\u2019s emphasis on economic and agricultural development over the political goal of establishing a Jewish majority and sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4172\" data-end=\"4404\">To Jabotinsky, the left\u2019s incrementalist vision threatened the ultimate objective: Jewish statehood. He feared the emergence of a privileged ideological caste that would marginalize dissenters\u2014an outcome Medad believes came to pass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4406\" data-end=\"4534\">\u201cJabotinsky dreaded that the left wing would assume a privileged, overlordly stature. And it did. And they were,\u201d Medad asserts.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"\" data-start=\"4536\" data-end=\"4539\" \/>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"4541\" data-end=\"4582\">Netanyahu and the Modern Continuation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4584\" data-end=\"4778\">Drawing a line from these ideological disputes to the present, Medad suggests that the animosity toward Netanyahu is not just about governance but about who holds power in the Zionist narrative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4780\" data-end=\"4934\">\u201cIn a reality where the pecking order was defined long ago,\u201d he writes, \u201ctoday\u2019s populist movements threaten the elite\u2019s grip\u2014and the backlash is fierce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4936\" data-end=\"5194\">As Israeli society wrestles with judicial reforms, security dilemmas, and cultural realignments, Medad\u2019s perspective offers a sobering reminder: today\u2019s unrest may be less about Netanyahu the man and more about a century-long reckoning within Zionism itself.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"\" data-start=\"5196\" data-end=\"5199\" \/>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"5201\" data-end=\"5569\"><strong data-start=\"5201\" data-end=\"5219\">Editor\u2019s Note:<\/strong><br data-start=\"5219\" data-end=\"5222\" \/>The terms <em data-start=\"5232\" data-end=\"5246\">First Israel<\/em> and <em data-start=\"5251\" data-end=\"5266\">Second Israel<\/em> are often used to describe the enduring socio-economic divide in Israeli society.
