Talkback
Title:Look who is insisting on Social Justice?
Name:Zev Davis
City: Natrzrat `IllitState: ISRAEL
So the cost of Shas`s entry into Ms Livi`s government is providing social justice to the people at the lower end of the economy, and . . . the Labor Party, who ought to be concerned about the welfare of the people at the lower end of economy are trying to persuade Shas to hold back on those demands.

How interesting. It seems to me that if anybdy in this country cares about the poor and less fortunate its the Haredim and the Communists, when they were still around. The rest of the parties don`t seem to care--all they want is the power to make decisions for the people of Israel, often against their will, or better judgement.

Funny how the Secularist Parties who talk about the freedom of expression are willing to let the poor of this nation go down the tubes as long as they can Post-Zionise the State of Israel quietly, without anyone making too much of a fuss.
