"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Avnery says, "Thus a paradoxical situation has arisen: parliament, the highest expression of democracy, is itself now posing a dire threat to Israeli democracy." What he is truly witnessing, but fails to see, is that current parliamentary action is exactly what "democracy" is. This is its nature and its ultimate goal. In the Holy Trinity of wolves and sheep, there is now one more wolf and one less sheep. Government is death.
