Israeli Leadership (1997)

1997 Dry Bones cartoon - Considering the level of our leadership, our continued existence is proof of divine protection.
This cartoon from 1997 deals with a secret Israeli truth. That "secret truth" is that no matter how secular or non-religious an Israeli is, he or she cannot really shake the belief that our success and survival comes in spite of our bungling leaders.

Today, 10 years after 1997, Israel has an even less competent government, we face even greater threats, and somehow the "golden oldie" seems even more to the point.

True, Israel muddles along and b'siyatah dishmayah its enemies do not achieve their aims.

Last September, there was allegation after allegation re its president. What was the outcome? It appears to amount to nothing. I think we should now say at least the president is a decent Jew and runs his office with dignity.

Since writing my comment this morning it appears the AG has decided to indict President Katzav. So it is now sub judice.

It is a far cry from making an accusation to obtaining a conviction. Let us see when examined in court if the accusations amount to anything or are simply malicious.

Sorry DB, I do not Agree.
The Problem over the Years has not been lack of Leadership but lack of Policy.
A Political Party should have Aims and A Program and the Parties should Choose who can best Carry Out and Win an Election to Carry Out those Aims.
The System of Elections to the Knesset weekens the Parties, And they Do Not do their job. There is too much "Tit for Tat".
Israeli Response to fanactics and "Playing in to their Hands.
The Question is what is the Ideolagy and Program of the So Many Parties in Israel.
What happened to Shinuy and all those Center Parties. The Israeli Public is much more united than the Politics. Politics are mucking up everything!!!
The Army and the Legal System too that in the 60-70s were considered above the General Standard.
So as a Cartoonist and Dry Humour fine.
