Title:A knotty problem
Name:Dani Reiss
City: Givat ZeevState:
The situation described by Amira Hass is "merely" a knot of chronic Israeli bad habits. One, of course, is public relations. Another is double standard. Another is bureautocracy, where unnamed "cogs" in various ministries make the laws. And another is "ignore the problem, maybe it will go away". Of course the problem never goes away, it "merely" festers and ferments, and one day it explodes. Like a "work accident". A similar knot used to hang over non-Jewish foreign nationals residing in Israel. Maybe it still does.
