Yair Lapid is one of these cooked up candidates made to order by the elite of Israel.

The fancy hebrew name and the titles, reminds me of the Jews for jesus with the pseudo-Hebraic names of the house of worship, all as authentic as Walt Disney animation is to a forced labor camp. Since the inception of the state, Israeli jews least “burdened” by loyalty to Jewish tradition and cultural behavior have assumed political power, they valued it the most, as a divine right of kings gratefully restored with the blessing of the unwashed masses, floating to the shores as damaged and battered immigrants after WW2, the untermenchen to play their new/old traditional role as slaves to the new Pharaohs. lapid is just a slick version of what the elite can cough up and polish a bit; they have used power generously, wantonly and have no intention of yielding an inch. Land they will fork over, a Gush Katif or parts of Hebron, military beatings of civilians appears to warm the hearts, but power, the inner circles, and policy making is an exclusive and very white club.

( see link at end) …This week Ha’aretz – the trumpet of Israel’s ruling class – gave us all a primer in how this sort of thing works. In an article titled, “Obama has ways and means to check on Netanyahu,” military commentator Amir Oren disclosed the close collaboration between the Obama administration and a handful of hard-left retired IDF officers against the Netanyahu government.
Oren reported that ahead of Obama’s meeting this month with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, retired IDF brigadier generals Shlomo Brom, Udi Dekel and Baruch Spiegel met secretly in Rome with retired US rear admiral John Sigler who heads the Middle East research institute at the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. The purpose of their meeting was twofold.
First, as Oren put it, they were asked to “clarify whether in the dispute between [the Obama administration and the Netanyahu government] Netanyahu truly represent the majority in Israel.” That is, they were supposed to tell Sigler how to drive a wedge between the democratically elected government and the Israel voters who elected it.
And second, they were supposed to furnish Obama with arguments to reject Netanyahu’s arguments for why Israel cannot retreat to the 1949 armistice lines. As Oren put it, “When Netanyahu tells Obama there is something he can’t do because it would be the death of him, experts like the three brigadiers general can map out Israel’s ranges of flexibility to Sigler, and through him pass them along… to Obama.”
Activities like those Oren reports are a permanent feature in Israelpolicy circles. Regardless of who is in office, the likes of Brom, Dekel and Spiegel and their leader Yossi Beilin are always working with the Americans and Europeans to force Israel to maintain allegiance to the failed land for peace paradigm. Year in and year out, these anti-democratic and strategically demented but well paid former officials maintain what they euphemistically refer to as “track two,” contacts with their counterparts in the European and American ruling class to force the majority of Israelis who don’t share their derangement to accept their policy dictates…. the time has come for Israelis to confront our own ruling class and develop methods for weakening its chokehold on Israel’s domestic and foreign policy.
For too long and to our unmitigated detriment Israelis have allowed a small unelected minority to dictate our national policies. The views and loyalties of this minority – like their counterparts in the US – are opposed to those of the majority of Israelis. If our democracy is to have meaning and if our lives and country are to be defended, we need to empower our elected leaders to stand up to those – like Brom, Speigel and Dekel -who work actively to subvert the principle of government by consent of the governed.
