You Israelis cannot allow your political situation to continue this way!
One day you'll see that I was right all along. You'll establish a government that runs the right way, the way we do it, and it will solve all of your problems. That's because our political system is better than anybody else's in the whole world.
Response by the Israeli: You're right. We're held back by the opposition and their short-sighted ways. Fortunately, we do have a brilliant and innovative idea. It's a secret, but we're going to let you in on it.
We're going to bring down that evil and corrupt government, and then we'll have new elections. Don't tell anybody what we plan to do, because it's a secret. Our party will win the elections, and then we'll change the face of the country. That will improve everything.
We know that we will win because we took a survey, and the country is behind us. They understand that we will be able to run the country the right way. Everybody is frustrated, disappointed, and disgusted by the way the incumbents handle the situation. The country is prepared and ready for a serious and real change.
That change will return us to our true ideals. Our country be like all the others. That is the way for us to be truly great.
Our plan is even better than a three-tiered solution. It's a 3Terr Solution. It will handle all of our problems:
Never, in our wildest dreams, did we believe that these issue could be handled as poorly as the incumbents have done. It's about time that we settled these urgent and basic issues the right way.
I live in a rich Western country. However, I know what's really going on in Israel. I know the untold, in-depth, secret story. Would you believe that some real, genuine Member of Knesset actually came to my own city in the Diaspora? He spoke to us in my own shul. That's right.
Actually, I was the one who invited him to come.
It's a shame that the turnout was so small. That Member of Knesset said that he expected at least a dozen people to show up, but that's okay. I had an opportunity to get to know that there Member of Knesset really well, and to find out the real inside story of what's going on in Israel.
My Member of Knesset is now my buddy. He invited me back to his house when I come to Israel. I'll do that as soon as he makes it safe to go there.
He said that he was proud and privileged to get to know me and the other fellow who showed up towards the end of the meeting.
He told me that most Israelis don't know what's really going on, so I was flattered that he shared some important information with me.
I now know another secret that he shared with me: He said that if his political party wins the next election, then he's going to make another trip to my shul in another two years or so. I'm going to start a petition to outlaw the other parties, so that he'll be able to come back.
He really is a nice guy, and I believe every word he says.
