Israel's Seinfeld Movement..............by Dan Friedman

Just read this piece by a leader of Israel’s “social justice” movement, which has kept Israelis and their government frozen in the headlights all summer. Not a word about specific complaints, or remedies, to be found anywhere, but we now know how many vacuous and puerile notions fit on the head of a pin. Clearly, this is a movement about nothing. And the joke’s on the hapless Israelis who have gone along for the ride.

Wait! This just in: Now comes word these protests are in no way as grass roots or spontaneous as they seem. Indeed, they may be about something.
