I am wondering, Sayit, where Georgie Boy gets radio programs that have told him what he just posted. Would our own radio stations, even the ones reporting on the news of the world, talk about the percentage of people owning the wealth in Israel. Maybe Georgie Boy should contact Carlos Slim in Mexico, reportedly the world's richest man, and ask him what percentage of Mexicans own the wealth in Mexico. Meanwhile, Georgie Boy doesn't seem to realize that most of the land in the U.S. is owned by the government and is administered by the Bureau of Land Management just as the majority of the land in Israel is administered by the Jewish National Fund. Georgie Boy actually sounds like some disgrunted, bitter Palestinian man who settled in the U.S. (perhaps for the benefits he would get).Religious/political fundamentalists of all stripes pose a serious threat to freedom, justice, equality, and tolerance everywhere including Israel. Israel began as a socialist state deeply committed to equality of at least all of its Jewish citizens, at least.MJ would likely call that the "Arab mentality" but freedom, justice, equality and tolerance might not be the lifestyle to which they aspire. It's their choice. Unfortunately many who leave the Arab World, ostensibly for a better life, often take those pathologies with them and try to erect their Sharia World in the West. Pity, really.
That has changed since the fall of the Soviet Union.
There are some kosher authoritarians rising in Israel that can rival any Arabs.
For example, I've just heard on the radio that 17% to 18% of Israeli families control the majority of wealth in that country, and Israel's security complex currently owns 51% of the Jewish state.
That would seem to pose some potent pathological problems for the Jews?
Pathetic rationalization. Israel will sort out the nature of its democracy once the Arab threat has been removed. The Arab states, as you noted, simply trade one authoritarian tyranny for the next.![]()
