mom and pop shop

Where are the real leaders of israeli government and military? how pathetic a "leadership" do we have there, israel is being run like a mom and pop business, instead of like a multi-nation corporation. It seems like anyone who plays the media well can be elected in israel, and with few credientials(seems that it might go that way in the US as well) .

Israel used to be run by leaders of military operations and excellent strategists, clever secret agents, tank commanders, men and women who were tested in battle and understood victory,what it takes to win. . men and women who valued every jewish life, every innocent life, who would fight rather than capitilate to the enemy. somehow now there are none. today leaders who foolishly think that seriel killers can be set free and physcopaths can be reasoned with proved that peace with terrorists ( oslo accords) does not work. but rather than see the failures they continue to make the same mistakes.

They have become weak and lazy, which is okay if you want to retire to miami beach. but one day soon, the new generation of israelis who understand that they are fighting for thier lives now, who cherish freedom and life, will gain contol of politics in israel and things will change. i am afraid that only when they are faced with certain destruction, will the real israel stand up and be counted.
