  1. To be quite frank, a lot of people are beginning to worry about the political stability of Israel, given the tone of the current government. Why invest in Tel Aviv when there’s a good chance your plant will get flattened if Netanyahu stages a raid on Iran? Why risk getting tied up in a corruption investigation if you have to pay for protekzia? And some of the news coming out of the Territories could make you worried too, like using IDF officers as police when they don’t even know enough to look around for a camera before bashing someone in the face. There can be debates about what is right and what is wrong, but there’s no denying when gross stupidity shows up on Youtube for the world to see.

    Time to throw the old bums out of office, and bring in a new crew, who will in time inevitably also become bums, but in the meantime Israel might get some competent government for a change.
