<br />
<br />We've been asking around about Robin Hood's tale here in Tel Aviv.
<br />It appears that the version of this tale we were told here in Israel is a bit different.
<br />The hero here is not a man - Robin Hood - but an institution: The National Institute for Insurance.
<br />The idea in the original tale was pretty different as well.
<br />Here, The National Institute for Insurance (NIFI) is the star -Robin Hood- this stands.
<br />Only the way he acts is a bit different.
<br />Its main goal is to maximize sorrow and despair among poor families belonging to the lowest layers of our society.
<br />Its last idea was really outstanding in its efficacy.
<br />The Israeli government, in line with its society-destruction policy, passed not long ago a new law: all family aids (food, health, schooling) to the starved must be cut by at least 99.9% (the .1% is an insurance fee for the next political campaign).
<br />NIFI, which is responsible for the distribution of these aids was instructed to stop them.
<br />Here came the new idea.
<br />Since the law was passed some months ago, NIFI's top management came out with a new astounding idea that would hopefully create maximum pain and sorrow to the targeted layers of society.
<br />Let the cutbacks be retroactive!
<br />"Let's ask for our money back from these people".
<br />This way, at the end of the previous month, thousands of the poorest families in Israel found in their mailboxes a letter asking them for returning such huge sums they hardly could figure mentally.
<br />The goal was achieved.
<br />Maximum despair among the poor.
<br />Now, what does Robin Hood have to do with this you might be asking.
<br />You see, the original tale develops around the concept of moving wealth from the rich to the poor.
<br />NIFI does actually move wealth, only not from the rich to the poor, but the opposite way, from the poor to the rich.
<br />Reverse Osmosis, this is their second name.
<br />NIFI takes from the poor to give to the rich.
<br />Millions of millions of Sheqels are taken every day through extorsion from the poorest people, while tons of billions are due from the rich and never paid.
<br />The latest rumour we heard is about our Prime Cinister.
<br />It appears he sued NIFI for a cash return they owed him.
<br />NIFI applied here the retroactive rule and returned him the monthly "debt" starting from 50 years ago 'till now adapting it to inflation.
<br />They almost got banckrupt, but they did it.
<br />Now they're thinking about further cutbacks from the starving layers of our society in order to perform other wealth relocations like this one.
