33. FIRST DISKIN, NOW LAPID !
FO ,   Belgium   (12.09.13)
A few days ago, Yuval Diskin said, and I quote: "The most dangerous thing for the Palestinian society is that it has no future, it only has a past". Now, you Mr. Lapid, you are insisting that "controlling another people is against Jewish morality". Both of you should have known better! I suppose, Mr. Lapid, that by "people" you mean a Nation. Well, a Palestinian (Arab) Muslim Nation living for thousands of years, in this land, as their narrative is telling us, is a fairy tale that doesn't exist. Some history: In 1695, a scholar, geographer, cartographer and well know philologist, called Relandi, was sent on a sightseeing tour to "Palestina". He mapped the land and arranged a population survey and census of each community. Result? Most of the inhabitants were Jews, and the rest Christians. Few Muslims, mostly nomad Bedouins. After the passage of Napoleon, the Turks, afraid of Christians settling mainly in Jerusalem, decided to reinforce the Muslim presence in the country, by promising a tax exemption of 12 years. So, Muslims arrived from Morocco, Caucasus and Bosnia. And hundreds of thousands Muslims arrived, since 1885, from neighboring countries to find work thanks to Jewish immigration. Conclusion: there are Muslims living between the Sea and the Jordan River, but without a qualification of People or Nation. Israel's goal must indeed be, to preserve a large Jewish majority, but without giving away (not giving back, as some with serious gaps pretend) more of its land. I listened to interviews Bennett gave abroad, regarding this issue, by proposing a solution that ensures Israel's security, and the Jewish majority; he expresses himself with a lot of conviction, dignity, logic, honor and pride, that leaves far behind him PM Netanyahu, and I'm sorry to tell it, but of course, you too Mr. Lapid.

Netanyahu and Steinitz defended the tax hike before the Parliament Elections saying.that those against the tax hikes were populists! Yeah, i agree with Lapid on that, Israel have reached a stage in which nobody believes anymore in Netanyahu decisions because everything he thinks, speak or do cost money to the population! Wow thats rethoric speech? - To low the VAT for national customers and israeli nationals will not raise product prices and to implement this decision will help to increase the commerce and economic activity. If this is a goverment of practices we can play with other options too, cancel the v.a.t. refund that tourists receive and allow let says a 8% refund vat tax for their shoping, but just if they present a bill that they were lodging in hotels during their visit to Israel. Corruption perception index (CPI) defines corruption as the misuse of public power for private benefit. Israeli citizens want transparency in every goverment act and that means that every goverment performance must clarify what the numbers means and where the money will be invested. Ifor intance, if 20 % per cent of parents across the country cant afford a summer camp or keitana, that means 80% of students can join the program for 400 shekels, good for the parents and good for the goverment but we want to know where this money will be invested by the autorities. In school equipment, In training programs for teachers, or in another Vessel toy to satisfy Netanyahu imagenary threats... We want 0 corruption!!!
35. Right on # 27! Glad Still glad I voted for Lapid.
