TODAY’S BLOG:
Your humble servant is sure that you remember the marches for “social justice” that occurred in Israel over the summer. Thousands of people from all strata of Israeli society demonstrated for such things as fairer housing and food prices. Prime Minister Netanyahu pledged to increase funding for social programs –which he has done in his current budget.
But faced with unfunded fiscal commitments of around 0.75 % of GDP to fund increases in those social programs and a choice of increasing taxes or decreasing military spending to pay for those commitments, Netanyahu has embarked upon a course that ravages the IDF. At a time when the forces arrayed against Israel have gone on major spending sprees that have brought hundreds of thousands of new weapons aimed at Israeli citizens, the IDF is planning huge cutbacks that leave the citizens of Israel even more vulnerable to attack.
Here is a “short” list of what was revealed yesterday:
1. 700 IDF career officers and non-commissioned officers will be “fired” this year.
2. The purchase of two new Iron Dome Systems to defend southern and northern Israel against Hamas and Hezbollah missiles has been suspended.
3. Development of the David Sling system that targets long range missiles has been suspended.
