Are we really going to re-litigate FREE-MARKET CAPITALISM vs. Socialism?

What is this, 1979? Come on.

Again reality is:

1. Bibi, Stanley Fischer and Co. have been REMARKABLE sucessful navigating

2. Your heart breaks for for middle-class college students partying it up during summer time rock-band festivities on Roschild Blvrd? For Israelis who can't afford Downtown Tel Aviv Condos or who can't go to a local TA gay-disco with their more affluent friends more than, say, 3 times a week? Puh-lease. Even working class Israelis live better than just about 90% of the region. Well, sure Qataris and Kuwaiti elites are better off, but what Israel's oil & gas finds come online in a year or so, things will look up for the welfare crowd, too.

3. Dalpne Leef's of this world love to point out to Luxemburg, or Switzerland or Norway as some sort of comparison.....Oh yah, Norway with their huge oil reserves, small population and like NO enemies. Same with Switzerland, Denmark or hell even Canada ---- only a true, ideiologically-blinded IDIOT would ever compare Israel with Luxemborg.

4. You don't like income gap? Blame the human nature, first and foremost. Not everyone is entitled to be wealthy without taking risks and working hard, I am afraid.

And really, if was DECADES of socialist rule in Israel....the Socilaist cartels, monoplies, parasitic labor union leaders like Ofer Eini aka Hugo Chavez: Smaller but Fatter, that Bibi tried to break up --- despite huge propaganda attack by Leftist media, unions and the like.


Many of the protesters are my age. I know them intimately. They are SO wrong, it's not even funny -- and I can't even say their heart is the rightr playce, which you could maybe say about the Flower Generation of 1960s.... nope, Rothschild Boulevard is a cynical ploy by Obama, EU, Soros, Labor to collapse a popular democratically elected governement using ALL means & dirty tricks necessary -- including using a severely disturbed, suicidal bankruptee like Moshe Silman, egging him on until he could take no more. Shame, shame, shame.

And it's not working, thankfully.

edit: you talk about Tal Law? Word on the steet is that Ms. Social Justice herself Shelley Yachimovic is willing to TRIPLE the Haredi welfare and exempt them from any military service IF Haredi betray Netanyahu and help bring down the govenrment. Yes, you read it right. Populist atheist is willing the entire 180-degree turn on their principle if it helps their political agend.

That's how Leftists brought down Right-winger Itzhak Shamir back in 1992. They made false promises to both religious Shas AND to newly arrived Russian olim who didn't know Hebrew or shit from shinola --- and BAM, a true patriot like Shamir he replaced by Shimon Peres gang.... which broke every major promise.

Now how about that! If you think Mofaz is far removed from Shelley...you clearly don't know the nature of Kadima.
