 Laor
The
Laor movement (Hebrew initials of "one heart and a new spirit"
Ezekiel 11,19) was founded in 1979 in reaction to the post Yom
Kippur war social and political crisis, declining norms of
government, rising ideological dissent, and signs of military
weakness.
Faced
with these signs of threatened disintegration, we felt compelled to
prepare a far-reaching plan of social and administrative reform.
Members
of Laor met
over several years to work out the program presented in this leaflet.
Our ideas are not utopian. What we suggest has been
successfully implemented in other countries, and has proved effective
in addressing the problems caused by human frailty and administrative
chaos. We do not claim to work miracles, but rather to prevent a
decline that could prove to be fatal.
Where
are they all? Those who dreamed about Israel … crossed continents
to reach this country … sacrificed their children and fought on the
battle fronts to defend their country and protect their future. Where
are they all now? Scandal, corruption and calamities are allowed to
pass silently. Politicians commit endless blunders, and no one says a
word. Does anyone care? And what indeed, does this silence portend?
