1. The yes and the no
Geepee ,   tel aviv   (03.08.13)
Whatever will be the case, the retention of Israel Katz as transport minister has been a disaster for public transport. No Saturday services still, no parking, shocking road accident stats - he's gotta go!
2. How about we choose the person with REAL Finance exp?
William ,   Israel   (03.08.13)
3. The Social changes will be critical.
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.08.13)
Lapid and Bennnett rode the wave of voters' dissatisfaction with Israeli societal problems. This is where they can show how much better they can be in the current government. Without the Haredim included, this government will be able to give every Israeli equal rights and obligations. Therefore, Lapid and Bennett will be wise to continue working on societal improvements in Israel, not necessarily on economical issues. It will be dangerous for them to take any of the the economic portfolios and start extinguishing fires every day. Be very careful to avoid the trap, Lapid and Bennett.
4. Yep folks: there's nothing like ole Social Engeneering. It
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.09.13)
has been done with such wonderful results that we just HAVE to try it one more time. I propose uniting all farmers under something we could call... hmmm..any ideas? Then we can advance to nationalizing all banks.... then.....

6. Islam outnumbers Jews
Zechariah   (03.09.13)
With thirteen million Jews and one billion three hundred thousand of Islam a 100:1 ratio exists with the Arabs it's A lesser ratio but Malaya and Iran reveal MacroHate so it's 100:1.so why cannot Five million Palesrinians be absorbed into the Islamic Mass of one billion plus its unreal morally .More than half the Jews live outside Israel because in the USA they are generally accepted and a few other lands also generally accepted.
7. The best economic condition in the West.
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (03.09.13)
Are you kidding or am I living in another land ?
8. Israel's economy
Mordechai   (03.10.13)
To Oleh Chadas if you were a failure in America it is no surprise you are a failure in Israel. Israel's government cannot make up for your lack of skills that an employer wants. Israel's unemployment is way lower than that in the US but employers still need you to have the skills they want. You must learn Hebrew. Just like a US employer will not read a Hebrew resume and Israeli one has no interest in your English resume. Just like you can't interview in Hebrew in the US you can't interview in English in Israel. For the rest of the economy the issues are simple. Cut taxes, cut import duties cut regulation and let the free market flourish. Get rid of welfare payments to charedim and anyone else who refuses to work. Stop paying people not to work and they will suddenly get jobs. Including the ones Jews won't do.
