Speaking at the Democrats rally Saturday evening, MK Naama Lazimi (The Democrats) outlined her vision for Israel's education system, vowing it would denounce 'fascism and messianic nationalism,' sanctify life, and refuse to become the 'private security company' of hilltop outlaws whom she accused of committing 'Jewish terror undisturbed.' The statement sharpens the opposition's critique of the government's education policy.
MK Naama Lazimi (The Democrats) used her Saturday evening speech at the party's rally to outline a starkly different vision for Israel's education system, directly targeting the current government's direction. She explicitly linked the education system to preventing what she termed 'Jewish terror' from hilltop outlaws — a reference to illegal outposts in the West Bank whose residents have been accused of violent attacks against Palestinians and security forces. Lazimi, who has previously presented a detailed education plan and demanded the Education Ministry portfolio, framed the issue as a fundamental choice between democracy and a 'messianic nationalist' agenda. The remarks underscore the widening political divide over education as the coalition continues to debate the portfolio allocation.
