“The Jewish religion is an ethical religion,” the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginzberg once said. It would stand to reason that the “Jewish state” would reflect this high standard. But, as American expat Saul explained in 2013, Israeli business behavior confirms the worst Jewish stereotypes. In Israel the golden rule is, “Screw the other guy before he screws you.“ If this the kind of person you’d want to serve with in war?  

“Deception and misinformation are hallmarks of the Israeli business model whether conducted at home or abroad. Literally anything goes, as long as a profit can be had. Indeed, Israeli society is so used to this type of behavior that there appears to be no ramifications for getting caught trying to cheat a client or customer. If caught, the ‘seller’ just shrugs — “Everyone does it” — and the buyer, shrugs back with a smile, “Caught you!” Business proceeds.

If caught, the ‘seller’ just shrugs — “Everyone does it” — and the buyer, shrugs back with a smile, “Caught you!” Business proceeds.
