11. SUCH TRUTH
THEODORE HURTSEL ,   SAFED HONESTY   (04.30.18)
An excellent article by A . Apfel. this recent disaster could have been easily avoided if those organising it were a little bit responsible ,but no.....that goes against the grain in Israel. Isrealis have an immature and reckless mentality mit is evident when they drive ,when they organize school trips etc Why take teenagers into the desert during harsh stroms ,only to get them kiled? why not go hiking in the minefields of the Golan instead? with israe li attitudes how they are ,israelis do not need enemies.

CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (04.30.18)
A little responsibility goes a long LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG way.
13. People in Israel like to brag about everything !
Frederic ,   Tel Aviv   (04.30.18)
I agree with the writer ! I come from the diaspora and I didn't stop to complain about the ''everything will be OK'' without checking if it will really be OK.
People in Israel are afraid to feel fear. So they prefer to play the ostrich.
14. PLAY STUPID RISKY GAMES
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (04.30.18)
Win stupid risky prizes.....
15. Really?
Daveed Shachar ,   Dimona   (05.01.18)
When Americans get into their cars completely drunk, causing 1/3 of all traffic-related deaths in their country, that's somehow not following the philosophy of "yihye beseder"? Only Israel is guilty of this mindset?
