You are correct. Israel is the JEWISH state. There are 23 Arab countries that can absorb their brother Arabs. It is time Israel kicked their asses to the curb. It is time Israel put an end to the policy of allowing freeloading Arabs to not pay taxes. It is time that Israel stopped providing billions of shekels in aid to Gaza. It is time that Israel stopped providing free goods and services to West Bank Arabs. Then Israel will have plenty of funds to see to the needs of the JEWISH people in the JEWISH state. Thank you for your concern, Floppy.
2. A simple solution:
Sami ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.06.15)
Stop complaining and work more. And of course, stop spending more than you can afford.
3. I live in a supposed rich country where the average person
Al   (03.07.15)
is carrying consumer debt that is on average 160% of their yearly income. That does not include mortgages. Stop the BS and the constant moaning about the cost of living. In wheat rich Canada a lousy loaf of tasteless bread is 3.50 Be thankful for what you have and move on..If Israel doesn't suit you...move out.
4. 41% overdrafted when?

this doesnt mean much by itself, unfortunately. how about some details about % of israelis overdrafted, and by how much, for the last 20-30 years? I seem to recall in the 60s and 70s the percetages would have been much higher.
