Peace Now: 'How great it is to be right-wing!'

[Israeli]

Peace Now launches satirical video poking fun at right-wing, slamming West Bank policy and new legislation. So, is it so much fun being part of the right-wing?

Set to the tune of George Harrison's "Got my mind set on you," the pro-peace left-wing organization Peace Now has published a satirical video titled "It's great to be right-wing" in which it mocks the settler right.

Dressed as religious settlers, MKs and prominent leftists cynically made the case for the right-wing in rhyme, indirectly slamming what they described as disproportional budget apportionment for West Bank settlements and new legislation which they claim is intended to silence political dissent.

"How lucky I am that there is no partner for peace and that Arabs understand just force. Because without Arabs, how would I scare you? With ghosts?!" quipped former Meretz and Labor leader Dr. Yossi Beilin, dressed in a kippa and stereotypical settler garb.

Donning an anti-Disengagement t-shirt, Peace Now director Yariv Oppenheimer made fun of those decrying leftists as traitors and conflating criticism of Israel's policies to anti-Semitism, singing: "How much fun it is to shout from every corner and square that the left are traitors, and that you and you and you are anti-Semites if you dare to protest."

5. Lol great thanks for posting but they forgot 1 thing

it's also relatively easy to be right wing , it requires very little actual thought, the talking points mostly sound bytes are pre-written by the organization(s) obsessed with negating the Palestinian quest for a state

"If you disagree with me, and do not submit to my will"

You hate all of my people, and are less than human.

Strangely enough though, the right is exceedingly good at creating a false culture of superiority, whilst the left looks for equality. Perhaps thus, the left is always on the defensive.

7. Glad you guys liked it ....

It spread like wildfire online over the weekend, watched by almost 100,000 people in Israel in 48 hours.

and I hear you azurnoir.....so does Yariv Oppenheimer .....

Peace Now leader Yariv Oppenheimer said the video was posted in honor of Purim.

“We are often jealous of the Right because their world is so simple. For them, all the Left is anti-Israel, all Arabs are enemies and the entire world is anti-Semitic.”
