פקיד שמאלן חוגג Bureacrat Runs Amok
It's almost September, and hundreds of children in Judea and Samaria still don't have classrooms -- because of the building freeze which still isn't over.
Herculean efforts were made. Portable, temporary buildings were found which could hold classrooms. The Minister of Education and Knesset Education Committee even managed to persuade strongly leftwing Defense Minister Ehud Barak that all children are legally entitled to an education, and he agreed. The Ministry of Defense's legal experts went through the whole project to make sure all was in perfect order, and it seemed like the problem was finally, finally solved.
And then suddenly -- back to Square 1.At the last minute or in fact weeks after the last minute, a radical pro-Palestinian legal advisor in the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Malkiel ("Mike") Blass, decides that HE needs to personally review the legal situation of each and every proposed portable building: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/news.aspx/138951. Yes, this legal review has already been done by entire teams of legal experts at Defense, but Blass says he must do it again -- and will give his response "soon".
Please could you contact Justice Minister Yakov Neeman - phone 026466527, fax 026285438 and ask him to exert his authority over Mr. Blass - because in a democratic country, there is always a minister responsible for each mean, uncooperative official. Mr. Neeman IS that minister. Mr. Neeman needs to understand that the public is very capable of distinguishing between fair, reasonable legal review and between last-minute, just-pretending-to-be-legal initiatives on the part of radical left officials who will do ANYTHING to hassle around the communities of Judea and Samaria, even on the backs of little children. Minister Neeman, what terrible legal problem could possibly come up, AFTER the Ministry of Defense's team has already reviewed everything, with TEMPORARY buildings being placed in EMPTY lots for the benefit of children WHO DO NOT HAVE CLASSROOMS?
Could you please also urge Education Minister Gidon Saar (phone 025602330, fax 025602246) NOT to be intimidated by this pushy, unfair, extreme official. Tell Mr. Saar you expect him to stand up to Malkiel Blass very firmly -- and make sure those classrooms go forward -- and get finished on time!
If you know Mr. Neeman personally, could you possibly mention to him the problems that his employee Mr. Blass has been causing -- for a thousand children of Judea and Samaria, and for all of us who love them. As always, thanks for helping -- from Mattot Arim
