Israel eyes austerity after prosperous year

[P F Tinmore]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has long boasted how Israel has avoided the fiscal fate of Spain and Greece, is poised to unveil tough austerity measures likely to hit the underprivileged.

The measures will aim to make up part of the budget deficit that has climbed to 4.0 percent of Israel's GDP -- twice that which was expected for 2012.

And earlier this week, he also suggested the defence budget could rise even further because of regional developments, notably in Syria.

Beyond the increased expenditure, tax revenues have dropped because of slow economic growth, which is 3.1 percent so far this year compared with 4.8 percent in 2011.

Israeli officials also fear that the major international rating agencies, which had hitherto provided Israel with a clean bill of health, will lower their ratings.

Isn't it amazing that despite such worldwide economic turmoil and Muslim savages trying to destroy tiny Israel at every turn, it has still managed to be one of the most prosperous and successful nations?

Absent the benefit of an entire UN funded welfare agency to provide for them, responsible governments have to make difficult decisions.

C'mon, tinny. Is this really difficult for you to understand?

Israel created a large, dependent, refugee problem than drops the expense onto everybody else.

I get my information from the people who LIVED IT Arabs who fled Israel in the "WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE ERA" left with whatever miserable possessions of any value they had-------into the arms of their own bretheren a few miles away paying NOTHING for the journey and leaving behind-----a worthless hovel . FAR MORE JEWS fled arab lands -------utterly empty handed even forced to give up little rings and bits of jewelry to bribe their way out of barbaric islamic lands Some of them showed up in palestine at about the weight level of concentration camp survivors and harboring sicknesses endemic to the filthy lands they fled (malaria, tubeculosis, polio, etc etc) '

arabs in Israel who actually OWNED anything of consequence ----like LAND----largely stayed put ------no one was crashing into their houses in order to slit the throats of their children

Thus the large impoverished, sick and needy refugee group------were the jews who came to Israel------the arabs who left Israal were largely INTACT ------many simply had to give up paying jobs in Israel when they left-------but their bretheren had no interest in creating something to support them and that is the whole story. Israel continues to absorb impoverished refugees without getting UN aid------now ----even from syria The sudanese refugees should CERTAINLY be entitled to UN aide---in fact SUDAN should be supporting them-------but since they fled to Israel-----they will not be getting it

(for the record---I have lots of relatives thru marriage who fled an arab country----the most significant such relative is my husband who reached palestine almost dead from the experience of having been born in a muslim country. He required years of in-hospital care------all provided free of charge ----not by you and not by the UN and not by Great Britain which held the mandate then-------guess who paid----if you do believe that HE should have been entitled to the same AID that the forever "palestinian refugees" get-----I will provide a post office box number and you can sent checks)

I will provide a post office box number and you can sent checks)

 

[irosie91]

I will provide a post office box number and you can sent checks)

Thanks Jos------in lieu of donations to the REFUGEE who lives in my house-----please send all donations to RELIEF FOR SUDANESE REFUGEES IN ISRAEL------thanks for your concern -------Hubby's medical care was paid for out of little blue boxes that decorated the kitchen counters of hundreds of thousands of jewish housewives thruout the world during the 20th century The boxes are still available --------want one? now some of the funds so gathered does go to the Sudanese refugees Its a good cause. Its very nice for kids to have such a box in their homes so that mom can teach them the joy of giving

That's the historical and factual truth that's well documented. You've seen it before, and as usual you grab your tail and run off to another subject, in typical terrorist supporter fashion.

Yup that and refusing to take in their Arab brethren, there are Palestinians that have been living in Lebanon and Syria for generations and don't have citizenship what is up with that?

Not true. Israel's war against Palestinian civilians started long before any Arab country entered Palestine to stop them.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians became refugees before any Arab country entered Palestine.

What other Arabs declared after the Six-Day War:

"There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity... yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel".
- Zuhair Muhsin, military commander of the PLO and member of the PLO Executive Council -

"You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, there is no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the Syrian people, Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the true representatives of the Palestinian people".
- Syrian dictator Hafez Assad to the PLO leader Yassir Arafat -

"As I lived in Palestine, everyone I knew could trace their heritage back to the original country their great grandparents came from. Everyone knew their origin was not from the Canaanites, but ironically, this is the kind of stuff our education in the Middle East included. The fact is that today's Palestinians are immigrants from the surrounding nations! I grew up well knowing the history and origins of today's Palestinians as being from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Christians from Greece, muslim Sherkas from Russia, muslims from Bosnia, and the Jordanians next door. My grandfather, who was a dignitary in Bethlehem, almost lost his life by Abdul Qader Al-Husseni (the leader of the Palestinian revolution) after being accused of selling land to Jews. He used to tell us that his village Beit Sahur (The Shepherds Fields) in Bethlehem County was empty before his father settled in the area with six other families. The town has now grown to 30,000 inhabitants".

As fear and chaos spread throughout Palestine, the early trickle of refugees became a flood, numbering more than 200,000 by the time the provisional government declared the independence of the State of Israel.

And today there are what, about 2.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza? Sounds like most of them are invadors. Now I'm no demographic expert but from 200,000 to 2.5 million and considering that 20% of Israeli population are Arab Muslims.

Boy, those Jews sure "drove" the Palestinians out! Ha ha ha!
