Israel's middle class is paying for those below it, and that's fine, but also for those who are above it, and that's very wrong.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Money does not buy anyone the right to tell Israel what to do, but long-term involvement, dialogue, and care demand that we must listen.
Things are expensive, very expensive in Israel for many reasons. One of the reasons is our ports. It's a monopoly. They run very poorly. And we have ships that are stuck in the ocean for three or four days or a week, and all that cost is transferred to the products and the consumer.
Israel cannot afford to be duped.
Too often in the past, U.S. leaders have forced Israel to pay the price for American strategic interests in the Middle East - through concessions in the peace process as well as passivity in the face of Iraqi attacks.
The middle class creates us rich people, not the other way around.
Upper classes are a nation's past; the middle class is its future.
Look, the hard-line Jewish position is based, to this day, on the idea that the Palestinian Arabs somehow or other will either accept third-class status, or they will pick up and go away. Now, this isn't happening.
Let's be honest: discrimination against Arabs exists in Israel.
I have a very clear view, which is that if you disagree with the policies of Israel, fine, say so, but that is never a reason to take that out on Jewish communities.
Israel being condemned by the EU, which 66 years ago watched with glee as its Jews were being mass murdered. That is pretty rich.
