I’ve seen this lie before, Israel is not Socialist, it is a free market capitalist state.

Yea, and Kibbutz don't exist either....

The labor zionist party hasn't had power in decades and Matzpen has always been a extreme minority. Kibbutz is a freely chosen community similar to Catholic monastics- it is not a government required through undue collectivism. These are private communities.

There is a key difference between private groups who freely choose to live in such communal situations and public policy requiring everyone to be as such.

There hasn’t been a “free market capitalist state” on this planet for over a century. Some folks will do anything to rationalize Israel’s failings.
