Rabbi Mordechai Zuckerman, a student of the Chafetz Chaim, relates as follows:

After WWII, I knew God-fearing Jews who left Europe for America and Israel. There was no difference between the religious level of the ones who went here or there. Nevertheless, the second generation of those who had gone to America was lower than the second generation of the Jews who ascended to the land of Israel. We learn from this the mystical quality of the land of Israel.

In today’s Israel being known as a government-company is no longer a matter of great pride, so they try to hide it. Egged claims they are a private company, so does Bezeq, and so do others. They would rather you don’t take back your tax money, by claiming their pens, chairs, tissues, etc.

But how can you tell who’s lying?

Here’s one simple method: Start typing their name into the fields on this page (the government ombudsman), select the various auto-complete options and press “Next”. As you will see, some partitions of Egged are private (sort of), while Bezeq and others are “only” heavily regulated in fascistic public-private-partnerships.

As I noted before, anti-Zionism gets Jews killed. This is especially important to note in light of the claim of Brisker prescience in saying the only thing the Jewish state will bring about is bloodshed…

This is what we call a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Here is Rabbi Berel Wein’s.

I haven’t read them all yet, but some of the list looks good.
