1. Here's the reality
grip   (04.19.19)
Unless you can afford to go to the very few high end greengrocers in the better parts of the country, here's what's been on sale this week: rotten cucumbers, rotten tomatoes, rotten onions and fruit at eye-popping prices.

This will continue throughout next week and at least half of the next as production takes several days to get back to normal.

Religion is indeed little more than a money making, super-exploitative enterprise.
2. No, they are not.
ex Oleh Chadash   (04.19.19)
there is no solidarity in Israeli society, nor in those failed Jewish communities abroad.

Chag sameach to you.
3. Poverty is the Government's Fault
Nigel Kersh ,   Ra'anana   (04.19.19)
Feeding the poor is the duty of the Government, and with 25% of Israelis falling below the poverty line, they have their work cut out for them. In the past 10 years, the Likud government has done nothing to alleviate this situation. Are you listening, Mr Netanyahu? Maybe put aside the cigars and champagne for a moment and consider the real needy in Israeli society.
4. FEEDING THE POOR IS UNIMPORTANT
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (04.19.19)
What is truly important is spending tens of millions of dollars to crash into the moon !
5. Tired of the bull
Mister ,   Israel   (04.21.19)
All the poverty stats are bull because there is a huge cash economy. Painters, car garages, shiputnakim, gardeners, contractors, plumbers, you name it, work for cash and don't report. So all the nonsense about the average wage is only..." Is a lie. 2 million Israelis vacation 9verseas every year. Packed makls. Ads for investing in property bin London, Berlin, NYC call over. Everyone knows this but the govt doesn't care because it brings in donations. And they take from America 3.8 billion usd in "aid" when our Treasury holds over 110 billion usd in forex. Meanwhile the USA has a 22 trillion dollars debt. The charities perpetuate the myth so they can collect money which they use for salaries, bo usrs, commissions, funnd raising trips overseas, flights, hotels, offices in the USA, etc.
