Why, through an authoritarian lockdown, is Israel deliberately committing national suicide?

Israel is ten days into a far harsher national lockdown than has been implemented before. Scientists find no evidence that it’s working at all. Unemployment is skyrocketing far above 25%. No demonstrations are allowed at all. Their entire nation is cratering due to this self-inflicted behavior. It defies belief. Why is it happening? Any sane person can see the irreversible devastation being inflicted. Netanyahu is telling the public that the new lockdowns will probably last an entire year. Does he really anticipate a total bailout from U.S. taxpayers?

Something very bad is happening in the world, a psychological contagion is leading to suffering on a scale that we’re only just beginning to understand. Nations are deliberately causing the destruction of their economies, the destruction of all remnants of liberty left to their citizens. It is no longer tethered to reality in the slightest. We now know that COVID-19 poses little to no risk to over 99% of the population. And yet entire nations are inflicting unimaginable pain and suffering on the most vulnerable within their borders.

Madness is in the driver’s seat, an almost anti-natalist ideology has infected the minds of millions.
