I am a supporter of the free market, but we may find ourselves in a situation where our arms industries are blocked. In a recent speech, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu admitted—a surprising admission—that Israel was being isolated, which might create economic isolation in regard to Israeli arms industries. Israel, he said, would have to become a “super-Sparta,” apparently meaning strong in isolation. Yair Lapid responded: “Netanyahu’s statement that Israel is entering isolation and needs to adapt to an isolation economy is a crazy statement. They are turning Israel into a third-world country and are not even trying to change the situation.”Israeli industry groups also decried Netanyahu’s statement.
