Israel must join the Jewish world and go green (Haaretz Israel News)
- Israel is, on the one hand, a strange country, and on the other side it is a very strange country. It is at the gates of the OECD, asking to be a member of the developed countries' club, but also pretends it is still developing; it is consciously slipping in its overall effort to save the planet from the effects of global warming, but also expects to receive preferential treatment.
The impression is that the international community is increasingly losing patience with our double dealings on all levels. Environmentally-conscious Israel is in its fetal stage. While awareness is developing here like a pregnancy, it is taking too long to reach term. The signs are there but there is no genuine willingness to complete it. Capital interests still have the upper hand in most instances in which there is a clash between greed and future welfare.
