corruption anywhere

Corruption anywhere
By David Verveer

The current scandal at the Tax authorities is the last nail in the coffin, with us Jews running the country, we do not need enemies, we are self sufficient in ruining each others lives.
Lets look who has a corruption or sexual harassment case running, the presidency, the prime minister, the minister of justice, 30 members of parliament, in religious circles, the Ashkenazi chief rabbi, the wife of the Sephardic rabbi, mayors of towns, police (underworld connections, etc.), foot ball players, Army Generals, and I could go on like this but surely you understand my point.
Sure, it is true that everybody is innocent until proven guilty, but what about the expression, where there is smoke, there is a source of fire. I really hope that most of the people mentioned above will be declared “not guilty”, specially the terrible crime accusation of the minister of Justice, kissing in broad day light, how utterly disgusting.
But the point I try to make, is that our society is guided by a principle of the wild west, everybody for him self, try to get the most out of everything, investing in a proper placed official, by giving him the suitable gifts, is the only way to succeed in this country. When the official tells you, he can not do anything to help, this is the law, please note, this is the trigger to find a way to corrupt him sufficiently, as for small gifts, he will not endanger himself.
I don’t say that everybody in Israel is corrupt, for example, as far as I know, I never accepted nor offered a bribe, and I suspect I know some others, who never tempted or were tempted to enter the shadow world of corruption, but you must admit, something stinks in the kingdom of Israel (Shakespeare translated). Think one moment on some facts about our country (the only democracy of the Middle East), the Holocaust victims, die daily without receiving the money which is legally theirs, Israel is a popular country for foreign investors, but more than 800,000 children live under the poverty line, Bank directors get enormous salaries, but those are paid directly through fees the banks require from their poor customers.
How can we teach our children that corruption is bad, while they were told to respect leaders, who obvious never were interested in earning an honest bug. I remember leaders from the past, such as Begin and Ben Gurion, who did not bother to gather personal fortunes, and really tried to be honest with the people who elected them.
But I suspect this country is run by the underworld, and those, who were or are accused, simply did not comply with all the wishes of their crime-masters, and thus, very carefully and professionally, scandals were released to the press, accusing them of some miner crimes they committed, with the knowledge that they will keep quiet about the real big crimes.
I do not think we are the most corrupted country in the World, far from it, but I am disappointed that we Jews, because of personal greed, did not manage to create a true nation of corruption free justice, face it, if we are really the chosen people, how bad are our enemies.
