Joel Bainerman on Regional vs Federal Govt. in Israel

A time for change and Joel Bainerman presents us with a system that creates 5 regions within Israel that are autonomous and directly responsible for the collection and distribution of tax revenues and political restructuring of the election process to make the political candidates directly responsible to their constituencies. Let’s listen. It is innovative and fascinating. Please go to israelseen for the podcast.


Joel Bainerman has been writing about Israeli and Middle East economic and political subjects since he immigrated to Israel in 1983. His published independent research covers a wide array of topics on Israel and the Middle East conflict. With a publishing archive of more than 500 articles and a book, Mr. Bainerman is one of the few independent researchers on the Middle East. Unlike most of his colleagues, who work for academic institutions or newspapers, he offers genuinely fresh, non-mainstream perspectives which have been featured in many of the leading journals and economic publications in the world. “My research and life’s work,” Mr. Bainerman has said, “have been dedicated to one goal: To help my readers understand the real problems that exist in Israel and the Middle East.” To do that, he believes that one needs to first view these issues through a fresh perspective, rather than by accepting cookie-cutter positions as a basis for seeking solutions to these problems.
