ISRAEL SHOULD BECOME A NORMAL DEMOCRACY

By DIDIER BERTIN 17  June 2009

A lot of progress should be done in matter of welfare of the whole population , social protection, National Unions, separation of religion from civil affairs, reduction of discrimination and respect of their property rights  of any minorities, respect of citizens for what they give to the State, healthcare,  better repartition of National Revenue, proper employment policy, efficient policy against unemployment, rights of consumers, decent minimum wage, right to stable domicile, Right to free Education, Right to free access to University on the basis of High School Diploma and cancellation of stupid and discriminating measurement through a wrong conception of Intelligence by test of another era: we need much more deep thinkers and quick and superficial thinkers and the conception these test reflect a lack of intelligence  from those who conceive them.

Part of the population has not a sufficient budget for food.

In the present conditions and as an example Israel is not in position to sign the Charter of fundamental rights of European Union despite it was signed by country as poor as Romania and Bulgaria.
