NP and DaMoshe – Although I disagree with ujm very often, in this particular case we are talking about Eretz Yisroel, and the “other side” really is just that… Note that none of the creeps who are in the news so often recently were elected by democratic process. In Israel the SC, AG, Histadrut Godfather and IDF generals are all appointed positions without adequate checks and balances. The SC in particular basically appoint their own successors. The Ramatkal is selected from within the pool of Alufim (commonly translated as Major General but de facto equivalent to American Generals), and he in turn appoints the next group of Alufim, from whom will be selected the next Ramatkal… The Histadrut is totally opaque and corrupt. All of these non-democratic institutions are at the forefront of preventing the democratically elected government from reaching acceptable solutions to the problems that divide Israel.
