The Knesset's winter session is opening on Monday. I hope that decisions made by its members, will be made for the good of Israel, and not for members own personal gains. Unfortunately, I am embarrassed by the way MK's insult each other in debates, and the total lack of respect they show to each other and for the people of Israel. There are so many difficult and demanding problems that Israel has to deal with, it is frightening to see how useless and ineffective our parliamentary representatives are. Its a shame that each member does not have to answer to the common voters and not by being elected by party members. The standard of our leadership is a far cry to those that helped to build our country. Israel needs to be a shining star in the eyes and hearts of Jews throughout the world, but because of weak and useless politicians, we are suffering from terrible economic hardships, dangerous roads, and atrocious planning of infrastructures, that many Jews steer clear. Everyone seems to pass the buck from one office to another, and meanwhile millions of wasted dollars disappear whilst the Israeli public wait for promised projects to get finished.
Lets hope finally that things will change, buy I fear that tomorrow the media will be flooded with new scandals born by inadequate minds that have bullied themselves into comfortable armchairs!!!
