    • 2019 April 9, Michael Sfard, “מה שחסר לשמאל זה חזון – לא מקום בממשלה [What the left lacks is vision – not a place in the government.]”, in HaMakom HaKi Kham b'Geyhinom:
      היעדרו של חזון כזה המתייצב כאלטרנטיבה לקיים הוא שאיפשר את הבעירה הגזענית של תנועת העליונות היהודית, שכבר כבשה נתחים רבים בפוליטיקה הישראלית הממסדית.
      The lack of such a vision presenting an alternative to the existing one is what enabled the racist combustion of the Jewish supremacy movement, which had already conquered many parts of Israeli institutional politics.
