Please start with the biggest bloodsuckers of all, the banks. Time has come for American and European retail banks to operate on our high streets.

And everytime he gets in, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. And the middle gets squeezed.

Traffic is already ridiculous in Israel, & in many big cities such as Tel Aviv there is hardly any room for parking. Plus, along with more cars comes more pollution. It used to be that most of the country relied on public transportation. There is a good public transportation system in Israel, but it's useless if the buses are stuck in traffic.

The much touted claim that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East must be questioned. The Chambers Dictionary defines "democracy" as: "a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people collectively, and is administered by them or by officers appointed by them; the common people; a state of society characterised by recognition of equality of rights and privileges for all people; political, social or legal equality." Between 1967 and 2006 over 650,000 Palestinians were detained and imprisoned, nearly all on political rather than criminal grounds. That's about one-fifth of the West Bank and Gaza Palestinian population which includes hundreds of women and children. Furthermore, over 100 passes define where Palestinians can and cannot go and, by 2010 in the West Bank, Palestinian movement was circumscribed by 1,600 kms of Jewish only roads which forced them into ever smaller cantons with their only form of movement through 44 tunnels marked by fortified checkpoints. (Unfree in Palestine, Abu-Zahra, N and Kay, A, Pluto Press 2013, pp.61, 116). No Jew has to tolerate such restrictions. Clearly, Israel is like Orwell's Animal Farm where some animals are more equal than others, a situation more akin to apartheid than to democracy.
