Escaping the Corporate World?

So do you have fantasies about escaping corporate America by coming to Israel? You can drop the fantasy because it's not only just as bad here. Job security is even worse. There is no security. People come in and out of the high tech sector like a revolving door. The pressures are immense, the demands unreasonable, and the people just as cut throat as on Wall St. The work hours are as bad and with the commute times, overall worse.

You'll make friends at work, your comrades, your fellow prisoners. There are decent people here. But the bosses are the same bosses. Meet the new boss. It's the same as the old boss. Maybe you had fantasies about Jewish companies and Jewish rachamim. Maybe you have the same fantasies about the government here. Maybe you are picturing First Temple Israel. No, this is second Temple Israel. The Romans are in charge. We just live here.

I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

The Real Charedim

It seems sometimes in the Mistake of Israel that anybody who isn't anti-religious, which essentially is most of the country, is Charedi, ie. claims to be. Oh I'm Charedi. Oh he's Charedi. That's what one hears from people as they march along with their smart phones, flags, and blue jeans. And I won't even give you a picture of how their wives and daughters dress and conduct themselves. They are all Charedi. I suspect that they make this claim because they see that irr-Religious Zionism is so empty. Oh, they still buy into all the myths about the Mistake and the army but they see intuitively that there's nothing else there. They want to latch onto the rich life of real Charedim, and the easy way to do that is with a simple declaration. And what about most of the country being anti-religious, well that's not necessarily how they'd describe themselves. After all, some have religious brothers and sisters and grandmothers. Some are just not hostile people and...
