QOTD
David Ben-Gurion wanted [Israel] to be a light to the nations - moral leadership, a country with justice and equality...We have more start-ups than in Europe. We have succeeded in building a great state - the State of Tel Aviv. But the State of Israel is like Carthage without the Negev. We are the state with the least equality in all of the Western world. When we established the state, we were the most equal....

--- Minister for Minorities Avishai Braverman
