| Yes Shas is extortionist. But that is how the Israeli political system is built. Virtually no one now sitting in the Knesset would have a job if there were honest, direct elections. In order to remain in power, any party with a plurality has to sell its soul to the devil, actually several devils, in order. to cling to power. Prostitution takes two parties - the prostitute and the client. It is difficult to tell which is which here. It should also be remembered that for the first 50 years, Israel`;s Kibbutzim and leftist elitocracy pretty much stole everything they could, including the traditions and beliefs of the Sefardi immigrant population. Today those kibbutzim have all become capitalist enterprises sitting on hundreds of billions in land they got for free, while the Sefardim got nothing. Maybe it`s payback time. Think of Shas` larceny as reparations. |
