Geshem ,   Israel   (05.21.13)
taking measures against Haredim and you expected that your economical problems will be solved. Actually, the opposite is happening. Who bless the Haredim will be blessed
4. Excuse me while I blow my nose...can someone please turn on

the lights for the average Israeli is too dimwitted to understand a very simple thing. A tank along with its munitions etc etc can build an appartment block. Yes thats how expensive it is. A missile that is fired from a plane can buy you a house. Yes thats how expensive it is. So while you are all pissing in your soup. whining and crying about this or that,rememeber you'd all be crack ass dead where the government not there with its planes missiles etc etc protecting you 24/7. Living in a Jewish Israel is expensive and yes even deadly. Now take your head out of your ass and move along.

Obviously you have no idea of just how hard it is for honest hard working young Israeli couples to get started. With a lot of help from their parents or family its almost impossible to buy an apartment and pay all the bills. And dont forget that this is after having served in the army for three years, taken more time out to get further education. Things are much harder for the young than they were 20-30 years ago .None of this however seems to stop your ignoring the facts in you rants.So do us all a favour learn a few facts about the difficulties faced by the young couples in Israel and then bless us with your new found wisdom.

You havent got a clue. No idea at all. You have 2 sons in the IDF at present & thats all. You've worked hard all your life & you think you know it all. You dont Al. You aint got a clue.! Living in Canada has made you harder than hard & meaner than mean. Shame on you! How will you feel & cope if your sons remain in Israel after their service?
7. Difficult everywhere
J Smith ,   UK   (05.22.13)
To be honest its really hard for young couples in many countries to start out life.In Israel it is expected that parents help their children to buy an apartment.Here in UK it is impossible for young people to buy or rent a place to live-too expensive and everything -bills just keep going up. Life is definitely hard for young people.
8. Birdi Birdi Birdi...my eldest is working in Israel today
Al   (05.22.13)
Thank you very much. I have a clue for he does very well Thank you very much. In fact both my sons are doing well Thank you very much. Do you know why Birdi? Because I told them to never look at another's plate and concentrate on their own. Envy and jealousy is what makes most people dumb and very poor. By the way..I was born in Canada and nothing was handed to me. Thank you very much. Now stop whining and start working. You'd be amazed what you can achieve within a very short period of time..
