Is Haifa's future based on empty promises? And what happened to Klish's passport promises? • Interpretation

1. I chose cliché because it was Jonah's time to go and he didn't want to.
   Terrible mistake!!!
   I look at the list of contestants and am amazed that there is not one person there who can bring a balm to the city of Haifa, which has become a failed city, a city of crime, a city of pigs, 0 places of entertainment, 0 attractions, 0 regeneration.
   A municipality that fights its residents out of an inflated ego of the city's leader and a right hand that drags it and the city to ruin.
   What's amazing is that even in the major parties, they don't recognize potential yet, and they don't put up a figure on their behalf...
   Just frustrating

2. Not a word about Talpiot Market and the pigs 🙂 But we'll put those aside - the platform is so pretentious and disconnected from reality to begin with. The majority chose her because of her beautiful eyes, probably. And this is not a chauvinistic comment. The Bnei Gantz are also chosen for the same reason.

   • Yes, she posed nicely with a lot of photoshop and posters about buses and sessions to pose nicely in suits. Etzioni has also already taken a photographer who put on a suit to take a picture with a flag and a state library background. We are in the era of 'if you haven't taken a picture - you don't exist'. There is no doubt that photogenic candidates have an advantage when they are constantly pushing cameras for selfies. The public wants to feel that they know the candidate, so no platform is needed. You need an Instagram and Facebook page where you take pictures in the living room, on a trip, in a restaurant, at home. And Klish and the members of her faction took pictures endlessly. Thousands of photos of every sign hanging and every home circle of hers. It was successful, the public felt they knew her. She is approachable and warm. Of course it was a media deception exercise. As if the media is against her then she is in direct contact with the public. Most of her list was made up of Instagrammers - Lazimi, Shuver who knew how to work on social networks to generate popularity and feel like she was popular. Again, it works, nothing to do. We are biased by the closeness and the breaking of barriers when the candidate hangs out with the children in the park or is hosted at a Friday meal. It works for us sometimes more than any platform and promise. Oh look what a lovely family. Oh look what a humble and simple person takes pictures of himself walking in the sea like everyone else.

3. Eyal, you surprise me and not for the better.
   In everything related to the legal reform, you react consistently and are rightly indignant about the Shamalian elite under the patronage of Getz and the support of the media against the opinion of the right and the ultra-Orthodox.
   And here in Haifa you are chronically opposed to the cliché and constantly complain about the ultra-Orthodox getting what they deserve in the oldest and weakest neighborhoods in which they chose to live in Haifa. And we both understand that the demographic threat and immigration from the countryside and the cities of the Galilee to all the neighborhoods of the city is undermining the city's identity in dozens of ways from decade to decade The Zionist Jew as we were born and raised in the shade.

   • Hello Saturn. I was a supporter of Klish as long as I thought there was a chance that she was just learning and would fix herself. When the damages accumulated, I realized that there was nothing to expect and that she was a puppet operated by Zuk, who doubles as a china shop in every field. Indeed, a few months later it already lost the coalition and became the smallest minority in any city council in Israel. I believed that a called committee was needed and for me this is the only way to deal with the root cause of the municipality committee and the duplicate amounts that only increase year after year for senior salaries and huge pensions for the municipality's retirees. Klish is not able. In every issue, she folded and failed, and she insisted on the excuse that others are to blame - the media, the opposition, the government, the committee, the workers, it's already a farce, and it's not just that one after another the senior officials of the municipality and deputies resigned - and there is no one who will say anything good about her and working with her, did you notice..?.
     As for the ultra-Orthodox community in the city, the attempts to bring here extreme Hasidic courts such as Tuld Aharon, the wars over the great synagogue in Hadar which does not belong to any Hasidic community and was not built with their money, the takeover of buildings in Hadar at the beginning of the term and the closing of the Hadar community center - this is not a good neighborhood, this is not Mutual consideration and not free love will agree with me.
     The ultra-Orthodox do not live in weak neighborhoods. Kiryat Vizhnitz is not weak. Neve Shaanan is not weak. Kiryat Shmuel is not weak. Ramat Hadar is not weak. The demand to transfer institutions into the hands of the ultra-Orthodox, such as the closing of Kishon School or Geula School and turning them into yeshivots, is what weakens neighborhoods and drives other strong populations away from them. And with all the respect I have for the ultra-Orthodox, it is also permissible to criticize them and the manner in which they are neglected and neglected in every environment they live in, their rapacity and separatism, the demands not to enlist that cannot be agreed to anymore, and the lack of care for the urban space around them - a phenomenon of alienation that also hurts the entire city.

   • You are confusing and generalizing between the ultra-Orthodox and religious Bnei Akiva.
     And not a word in your response about the migration from the villages and cities of the Galilee to the city and the demographic threat to the Zionist Jewish Haifa where we grew up.
     You are playing to the left's commenters and candidates, and knowing your views, I doubt if that is your intention.

   • Argue, argue soon, let's hope your government will also fall in some vote of no confidence, and the polls show that there will be a full left-wing government here!

4. This sentence is stupid, and proves that this whole article is 'on behalf of':

   "And now seriously, Haifa has burning problems right now, at this very moment. Planning for another 5 to 10 years is irrelevant. Who will even remember what was promised (except me) and how it will help the city? Yes, strategic planning is necessary, certainly for a city like Haifa and it is important to build plans Long-term, but a candidate for mayor is expected to first address the near future, which is the one that affects the city's residents the most."

   I want a mayor who plans for the long term. Running a city does not require a great genius.

5. Rache ran a cliché and argued that the property tax, which is the most expensive in the country, should be reduced, and then the first year came, and the mayor claimed that they had left a deficit and could not reduce the property tax, and so another year passed, and another year and nothing happened

6. This airport is important to have here in Haifa

7. We want an airport!!!!

8. The more candidates there are, the clearer my understanding is that Haifa is going to a second round, that is, no woman or man will cross the required threshold of 40 percent, therefore whoever succeeds or succeeds in teaming up with another dominant candidate will win at the end of the day, the ultra-Orthodox have always had a considerable influence in Haifa and obviously Even in the Israeli Knesset, either the commenters here are naive and don't understand how municipal politics works or I don't know what to think,

   One claimed that he was dating Idan Ofer, on the other they said she would do whatever Gad Zeevi told her, come on, they discovered America, local politics is always full of intrigue and intrigue, as for Hadar?

   Gafni vs. Litzman is the real battle, the battle between the Torah flag and the Israel Association, all the mutterings in Yiddish in the highest glory on top of battered cars will decide whether there will be a revolution in Haifa, as mentioned if this is the counter-list, Kalish's victory is guaranteed, he prefers a candidate who has already been burned than opportunists

9. Hello Shmualik Galbhart, you are right.
   The development of the lower city as a center for entertainment and young people was the initiative of Haifa's greens that she headed. Yahav made the order outside in Carmel because the owners of the Bhit pubs etc. refused to develop the lower city and claimed that no one would come down to hang out there.
   What convinced Yahav was that his friends the realtors would try to buy entire buildings for pennies and then he would buy them tens of millions of shekels of public money on Hamal Street and with the matron.
   That's how Avi Beitan arrived with the Carmel Academic College, which promoted a cover story for the purchase of a Tamud plot of land on the pretext of a dormitory tower for girls and a luxury apartment tower, and here after a decade I heard that they approved an apartment tower adjacent to the cul-de-sac, the low level of which had of course already led to its closure.
   Mazal Shihav was dragged for this reason to renovate Hamanal Street and the Turkish market complex, otherwise they would have been neglected and desolate to this day. But he takes credit for an urban initiative that you brought in the Greens and pushed despite his stubbornness that stuck it in the first term for 5-6 years. Lucky you didn't give up. After that he told endlessly that it was his venture and his success lol. Let him write history as usual.

10. Promises like sand and nothing to eat.
    Ms. Kalish destroyed the city. She did nothing significant in the city, neither construction nor development nor employment

11. Even in football, the player who didn't start in the lineup and is sitting on the bench is seemingly able to change the outcome of the game, it is shallow populism to come and write a long list as long as the exile of a woman of wealth and then put in front of her a list of people some of whom have already lost and fled or abandoned the rickety ship as they felt that the water was receding their feet, I don't want them to get on the raft again, Kalish navigates better than those on the list, only if a candidate of national stature arrives with proven political experience and connections in the high windows I will consider the choice again, as of today it is Mrs. Kalish

    • Klish will not navigate and will not navigate anything, she is a glove puppet of Nachshon Tzuk and together they degraded Haifa in every parameter. The government ministries even in the previous government severed all ties to Haifa. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are developing by leaps and bounds with metropolitan projects that only the government ministries can initiate. Haifa fades behind. There is no urban infrastructural project under construction in Haifa. Freezing and paralysis. If that's what you choose, it's probably a city of masochists.

12. Whose mouthpiece are you writing dear? I understand the list of ridiculous candidates Kalish is better than all of them, it is clear that she also has a lot to improve, those who don't do it are not wrong, some of the candidates you mentioned are invited to wear bermuda with stripes or checks and sit comfortably on one of the beaches of Miami

    • Better how? That shuts down the experimenters and transfers everything to ultra-Orthodox control? A secularist who votes this year Klish needs to look.. The ultra-Orthodox put it in their pockets and control the city.

    • It doesn't seem to me that you are behind the scenes, on the day of the elections in 2018 the honorable Mr. Litzman was called especially to Hadar in order to mobilize voters against Mrs. Kalish, which is true - Degal Torah and Michi Alper went with her, it is not true to say that all the ultra-Orthodox are one miksha, just so you understand in the previous elections Litzman left his office in Jerusalem when he served as Deputy Minister of Health and arrived like a snakebite to support Yona Yahav, so I will not accept your noel attempt to bind all the ultra-Orthodox as a homogenous bloc

    • Kalish is a rare example of someone who doesn't do it and is wrong!

13. All true. But there is no one to choose. The list does not make an impression on me and our first thought is that it is better to stay at home and not vote. There is a time to listen to a serious person. What about Stern? We might have voted for him.

    • If you stay at home, you are handing over Haifa to ultra-Orthodox religious control. If today they are 4 mandates, in a state of indifference in the secular public that will stay at home, they will have 6-7 mandates and will receive two paid deputy mayors and shut down more secular institutions to transfer them as yeshivas to unprofessional ultra-Orthodox with welfare documents, who will bring them to Haifa from Jerusalem.

14. I propose a different selection method: according to the candidates' past performance, and not according to their promises for the future, even if they throw impressive numbers in the air. And in this context - the investments in the lower city were carried out at the initiative of the Greens! Yahav at first angrily resisted, to his credit he finally gave in. And the fight against the deadly factories in the Gulf, led by BaZen and the ammonia tank, must be attributed to environmental activists and organizations. The authorities followed them, and the Union of Haifa Cities only woke up after the change of CEOs about two years ago. You are welcome to read about it in my (digital) book "Haifa Between Hon and Shelton"

15. What about the pigs, she brought it to Haifa without being asked...

16. Under everyone's nose is the answer Chairman of the Haifa Gulf Aerium Union, Chairman of the Audit Committee, MM Chairman of the Finance Committee, Chairman of the Names Committee, Chairman of the Environment and Sustainability Committee, Manager of the crisis of the wall that supports the bricklayers with suggestions Operatives in writing adopted by the council, who fought for the opening of the Haifa Nachshon Tzuk sailing club and Mr. Rochaha Tzvika Barbie who did not lift a finger in a legal battle that was successful and the sailing club was opened to 52 families with autistic children and youth
    This is attorney Sharit Golan Steinberg

17. Every word carved in stone

18. Haifa needs a responsible candidate with good connections in Jerusalem and with the right for at least the next 4 years they are in power.
    Haifa will not be able to live in its own bubble forever. It does not have the privilege of the central cities.

    • My response to Shula will give you the answer

19. New candidates for the race
    1. Haim Tzuri - comes with receipts about how a small neighborhood in Kiryat turned into a city that all the residents of Haifa flock to
    2. Roy Levy - How did a suburb in Haifa once again become a place that the young people of Haifa flock to
    3. Mayor of Tirat Ha'Tharzel - as above
    And the hand is still tilted
    None of the Haifa candidates can change the city - it is dead until the elections...

    • A mayor is only half the blame for her inability to manage the municipality
      The other half is the municipality itself with 400 senior salary earners who perform very poorly
      A committee that protects this corruption
      The municipality of Haifa in the 2022 bdi coface index of efficiency and resilience of municipalities is only in 27th place. Haifa has been deteriorating for almost 10 years
      For places 31-27 at the bottom of the bottom among all the big municipalities, what a shame and shame.

    • Haim Tzanari is exactly the example of why he is not allowed to serve as mayor more than twice, Matzkin would die to return to being a neighborhood, Matzkin is the most densely populated city in Israel after Bnei Brak, in my opinion Haim Tzuri will not run this time, he will announce his retirement due to apparent exhaustion, construction is saturated in Matzkin

20. New candidates for the race
    1. Haim Tzuri - comes with receipts about how a small neighborhood in Kiryat turned into a city that all the residents of Haifa flock to
    2. Roy Levy - How did a suburb in Haifa once again become a place that the young people of Haifa flock to
    3. Mayor of Tirat Ha'Tharzel - as above
    And the hand is still tilted
    None of the Haifa candidates can change the city - it is dead until the elections...

    • Look at my response to Shola

21. There is nothing new under the sun - you don't need an article to understand things, just look.
    Cliché was a default, no one thought too much at the time, only about the desire to replace Yahav and as soon as possible, we need to choose correctly this time, we need to separate between the inexperienced candidates who pop up like mushrooms after the rain and candidates who have the professional and relevant experience to manage The city of Haifa - the metropolis of the north, the third largest city in Israel with over a quarter of a million inhabitants.

    • Probably by the time of the elections Haifa will become the fourth largest city.

22. I feel that all the contestants are very old or inexperienced and that I have never heard of them.
    Probably the natural choice to go for the experienced cliché.

    • Experienced in what? Maybe you meant that she is always on the run from city council discussions
      She runs away from the discussions right after the mayor's statement because she knows she has no answers to anything

    • Shola, you want facts and someone who is fresh Dorsal 24/7, go to Google, enter Sarit Golan Steinberg and you will get many answers for action and not talk

    • Shula probably does not live in Haifa. Experienced? You meant failures. This is a victory of inaction.

23. God forbid that the cliché failure will be chosen again
    Destroyed the city for 5 years, warmed the chair and learned how to destroy a city. Under no circumstances should she be allowed to deal with it. She is a failure with a black belt! She had promises up to the sky she made 00 that she will continue to make for her family.

    • If the Haifa public is not indifferent and votes much more than the 50 percent that were in the previous elections, she will surely fly

24. I wonder what the coverage is based on, where are the sources for all the numbers and studies. It seems that the whole purpose of the article, like the whole purpose of the "Hai Fe" system, is to kill the mayor's lady. The reporter systematically uses the year 2022 as an example of his dissatisfaction with the mayor. When it comes to the year of Corona which hit the economy. Anyone who ignores this is absurd. A systematic article of interest, the days of real journalism are over.

    • Read Hanan Markovich's previous articles, he refers to the net facts

25. It really hurts to go through all the promises. Except for the examination of the scope of tourism, which in my opinion in light of the corona virus is difficult to measure since it lasted for over two years, it is clear that the picture is bleak and the city lost precious years in which it could move forward and distance itself from the image of the periphery that is getting tighter around it.
    I really would have been satisfied with a written commitment - without numbers that would have been partially fulfilled. Haifa needs a reboot. Hard Reset.
    good luck to us.

26. Excellent article Hanan.
    I hope it is a swallow that heralds the coming of more articles of this kind.
    Its importance is that it reflects the insight that elections are not just a reality game and that each voter's investment in carefully examining the line of candidates, their seriousness, ability and talent to seriously present promises and realize them, is critical to determining the quality of our lives.
    It is important that we know that each of us needs common sense and civility so that politicians understand that we cannot be deceived anymore.
    They will be held, they will be chosen. They will not comply, they will go home!

27. The passport is in front of me.
    The sad conclusion too.
    And it is data based.
    I would add one figure: the number of officials who changed.
    CEOs of municipalities, treasurers....
    May we only know good in our city

    • Every word is correct.

    • Most of Klish's advisors and list members don't even talk to her anymore..
      They understand that she ruined the opportunity to do something else after corruption from Pai.
      In closed conversations they regret every minute they gave her (many of them are free as volunteers)

28. Let's get rid of the illusions and fantasies that a candidate will come to you and give you "programs based on numbers" unless some contractor runs it and then promises something delusional like "12,000 apartments will be built". Or from the genre of Yona Yahav's delusional statements "3000 hotel rooms have been added in Haifa" "The largest cinema complex in the north will be built near the stadium with 24 theaters" "We will build the largest adventure park in Israel in Wadi HaGivori" (and repeated these bluffs and many others over and over...)
    It is essential to examine the candidates in only one important parameter: their accumulated experience in managing. Have you managed a company of over 100 people in the past? Yes or No. Have you ever run a successful business for years and understood what the business world is. Yes or No. Have you held a position in a public body and what do those who worked with you say about you? Did you promote technological or organizational innovation in the company you managed and how did you do it.
    And only then, when it is made clear that he has good managerial ability, good interpersonal ability, ability to promote an agenda with partners in the organization - then it is also possible to examine what he wants to promote in the municipality and in the city of Haifa. And the question of the questions - on the list of the candidate there will be businessmen and friends of - or experts in the fields necessary to promote his vision - engineers, economists, education and more.
    Klish's passport was a successful marketing venture that sold everyone what they wanted to hear in a field that interested them. A large part of her advisors and staff are no longer with her and would not run with her again. As a mayor it is easy to find enough cowardly officials, sleazy consultants and flatterers to allow bizarre and corrupt moves like the establishment of the 2030 administration that employed its members in personal contracts without approval. Or the attempts to employ an unqualified municipal director because it suits her politically to seek sectoral votes from here and there.
    Meaning: passport to perdition. Indeed, we saw a complete loss of path, dependence on the same spinology, signology and visualization maxims and plans for the drawer of its failed predecessor Yahav. You claimed he promoted the life sciences park? It was announced in 2010, it took 10 years to build one 17,000 square meter building, most of its tenants are companies that were already operating in Haifa only from old offices, the idea of ​​life sciences disappeared and was shelved, and the economic company had to enter as a partner because a construction company did not want this risk. The attractiveness of Haifa was expressed in about 150,000 square meters of hi-tech that were built in Ne'am and the Matam 2 park that was also shelved.
    Regarding hotels, with all the good will when the city does not invest in the marina, not in the renovation of promenades, not in the renovation of streets that were abandoned due to the excess of canyonization, Yahav Savion and Tsena confirmed to their friends Zeevi Dankner and Ofer... no treatment of the wadis (not even after the fire), their extinction for wild and destructive construction, no To build breakwaters and destroy the beaches, not to cultivate bicycle and walking paths, not to promote new public buildings after decades of neglect, not to establish markets and not to invest in the appearance of the city... So what do you expect tourists to come? Yes, they come for two hours to the islands and take pictures in the moshavah and adios...
    The next mayor inherits a huge amount of unresolved issues. Some have not been treated for 20 years, some for 50 years, and some for 80 years. In addition, he inherits a militant municipal committee that does not hesitate to damage the city and rob its coffers in any way possible for hundreds of senior employees who receive too much and hide behind junior employees who receive very little. There are many problems and challenges. You listed their share in the statistics. Therefore it is not necessary to hear passwords. And it is not certain that one of the 7 candidates is such a big lift. I would be happy to see both the lists of the candidates and to ask them, under which other candidate they would be willing to serve as deputies and whether they would remain active in the city council if not elected. Haifa does not have the ability to have a paralyzed council again and a mayor without a coalition.
    I feel that more experienced good people, especially from the neighborhood committees and experts in industry and management and promoting innovation in organizations and experts in optimization and public service - should enter the city council. We have to see who will be on the candidate lists, his face on a sign means nothing.

    • I am trying to respond or contact "Eyal", I found a lot of interest in his words.

    • Eyal.
      It is impossible not to agree and identify with your facts and conclusions. The question is how to train the Haifa voters to make the right choice in the next elections?
      The tools to examine who is the candidate with the best potential were presented by you and Hanan...now all that remains is to convince the voters to invest effort and use this information and tools.

29. Good luck, my friend the reporter Hanan. Indeed, your coverage is reliable.
    In my opinion, it is important to allow the excellent mayor of Haifa, Mrs. Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem, to continue her excellent work for the capital of the north - Haifa. Have a pleasant evening and Shabbat Shalom.

    • a bot is a bot is a bot
      Duplicating your ridiculous response - like brainwashing, just shows what pressure the failed mayor is under

    • All the best to Einat Kalish, there is no area where she has not destroyed Haifa and dashed the hopes of the city's residents
      From the wild boars to the car races, from the rampant crime to the rampant property taxes.
      And of course it is important to mention the ultra-Orthodox who will be the real rulers of the Haifa of Kalish... this must not be allowed period

    • You made us laugh, great job? Do you live in Haifa?

    • Eyal's Scroll of Esther. And who is the candidate pulling your strings?
      who is your man?

    • On 31-10-23 your comments will also disappear along with Klish

    • let her continue???!!! sir! Did you freak out?!
      Or did you eat mushrooms?!!
      continue???! Fly with the pigs!
