Israel's Demise

International economic commenters are debating Israel's demise because of the discovery of oil and gas, which will make us a very wealthy country. They are already lamenting the passing of Israeli startup culture, and Israelis becoming lazy hedonists.

I am soooooo worried...:-)

In Fiddler on the Roof, Perchik, the socialist son-in-law, say, "Money is the world's curse." and Tevye replies, " May the Lord smite me with it! And may I never recover!"

They are already worrying we catch the Dutch disease or become like our Dubai neighbors with hordes of foreign workers doing everything. We may become insultingly ostentatious - the competition will be even more ferocious.

Maybe you will become Norwegians. We import Swedes to make our espressos, Poles to paint our houses and Somalis and Pakistanis to do all the raping and stabbing the locals won't do.

Fjordman can make fun of himself, which is almost a Jewish specialty. Good!

Should Norvay need help in the last department, say back stabbing, we are ready to rent you out "our" Palestinians.
