Bibi, call a press conference

He said to the cabinet today, regarding the wave of protests over high housing and other costs:

"I have ordered the establishment of a special ministerial team to devise a practical plan to ease the financial burden," Netanyahu declared. "I am asking the team to set up a round table where representatives will hear the problems, proposals and solutions and put forward a plan to ease Israeli citizens' financial burden."

Nevertheless, he warned that irresponsible actions may induce a crisis. "We must avoid rash and populist steps which may lead us to bankruptcy. We are all aware of the hardships and high cost of living in Israel. Some of the claims being made are justified and some are not. We have an obligation to deal with the true adversities in a serious and responsible manner."

Netanyahu further added, "We in Israel can take the necessary steps as we have behaved responsibly on the financial level. Israel has witnessed growth in the past few years, our unemployment rate is the lowest in the Western world and these things enable the necessary changes."

Very good. Now, how about calling a press conference, explaining which claims are justified and which aren't, and why. Most of the public are adults and will listen. True, in the subsequent news reports on the press conference, they'll show Bibi speaking for a few seconds and then show five "analysts" explaining why everything he says is totally wrong. It's a problem, and there's no solution for it until someone sets up an Israeli "Fox News." So the PM should call the press conference for an hour at which, at least, many people will see the whole thing live, and then can shut off their TV sets in disgust when the lefty "commentary" starts.

I'd be interested in hearing. The TOS seems rather clear that it is not unless expressly approved by Amazon. I guess if the library got it in writing then they would be ok.
