What you forgot to mention is that Netanyahu is causing severe damage to elderly Jewish people, the Jewish children, and to handicapped people.
The pensions which people have been saving, is “gone”. Their money has gone straight into the hands of capitalists. wow…. I am a Jewish lady living in Tel Aviv, and it does not make me proud.
Before Netanyahu’s reforms, maybe Israel was not so high in the GDP, BUT PEOPLE HAD DIGNITY AND BREAD ON THE TABLE.
Netanyahu made the rich richer, and the mainstream poor, very poor.
Minimum wage is very low; there are old men working here for less than minimum wage because they have no more pension (thanks to Mr. Netanyahu).

As for the Histadrut – by infiltration and by deception, he killed the labor movement.

Shame on you and shame on your article. We have NOTHING to be proud about!
