israel is imploding
No wonder, they're so trigger happy.
Their president is about to be charged with rape, Olmert is being pushed to resign, the Army chief has already resigned, and today an israeli defense official has reportedly 'disappeared' in Paris, feared to have committed suicide.
I think it's fair to say - israel is imploding.
Indeed, some israelis describe israel's steep descent into abject corruption as an existential threat worse than Iran:
Israel is facing an "existential threat" worse than Iran's nuclear weapons, an analyst here said.That threat is corruption on the part of Israel's leaders.
Government officials from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to the head of Israel's income tax authority and many others have come under police investigation for various charges ranging from corruption to sex scandals over the last year.
State Attorney Eran Shendar on Tuesday ordered police to open a criminal investigation into allegations that Olmert intervened on behalf of two friends (including an American businessman) in the privatization of Israel's Bank Leumi (National Bank) while he served as acting finance minister.
Olmert's office said he would cooperate with the investigation and would be exonerated.
Two weeks ago police began questioning members of the tax authority, including its director, and a senior staff member in the prime minister's office following allegations of bribery, fraud, illegal appointments and breach of the public trust.
Michael Oren, senior fellow at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem, said the internal corruption is a "real problem" for Israel.
"The most serious existential threat in my mind - worse than Iran - is corruption," Oren told Cybercast News Service prior to the most recent investigation against the prime minister.
Oren, who served as a reservist in southern Lebanon during last summer's war between Israel and Hizballah, said the corruption has even penetrated the army.
Units arrived at the front without ammunition, said Oren. "I got a gun that fell apart in my hands."
At one point he said he received a box of uniforms, but when he opened the carton it was full of rags full of axle grease. Someone is signing the papers saying that there are x-number of uniforms or rations at a certain place and then they are being sold elsewhere, he said.
As a country that heavily relies on its army for daily protection and defense, Israel can't survive if the army is corrupt, said Oren.
"That's what I mean by corruption being an existential threat. We will die from the corruption," he said.
Sort of like a self-inflicted holocaust.
Israel is a self-imposed ghetto for jews only....however having no one but other jews to exploit would make the state collapse from within.
They need non-jews to exploit and to rob and to do the jobs that jews will not do. This is why the whole Zionist project sounds like a nightmare dreamt up by lunatics. I dont think any of them have thought out the implications of their vision and how it would pan out in reality.
In short the jews need the Palestinains to exist, yet they are attempting to annihilate them! How strange.
It's quite simple, leftfield. When they have quite finished gorging on one host, there is nothing left to exist on, so they simply go on to the next suitable host.
