A little late they started treating the road predators harshly, why not the air and water poisoners? Just because they are mayors of cities or factories?
In recent weeks there have been several cases of predatory drivers who left Hendres and ran away, when they were caught they were placed in detention "until the end of the proceedings".
When in many cases the predators will be prosecuted with serious criminal charges, serious according to the degree of injury and damage caused. In recent years, we hear, smell, see and are repeatedly hurt by emissions of pollutants contrary to the law and regulations, pollution of streams by industrial effluents, overflows of sewage, fires that cause the dispersion of toxins in the air, and much more from Bishin, the latest incident is the overflow of toxins into Yarkon.
In all cases of pollution, overflow, discharge, dispersion of toxins, etc., it is known and clear to everyone in the municipality, the factory or the party responsible for the offense. In all cases there are laws and regulations that are supposed to prevent the contamination. In all cases, there are many victims, whether immediate or long-term.
So...those whose duty it is to enforce laws and regulations will respect themselves and explain to me and the readers, what is the difference between a Dorsen driver and a mayor whose sewage is flowing, to a factory manager whose chimneys emit poison, to an industrialist whose industry poisons a river, to a local, regional, district or national authority whose managers dry up, salt and pollute wells, they will respect and explain Why don't we have a mayor, a factory manager, an industrialist, an authority manager, who sit in detention "until the end of the proceedings"?
Why has none of the Prime Minister been sentenced to prison to this day? Why is there no immediate and comprehensive punishment for poisoning streams, air pollution, destroying food and water sources? Is it not necessary to deal with "mass" crimes? Are those who harm public health and the environment not liable as a Dorsan driver?
When there is a sewer blockage in a residential area and as a result sewage overflows onto the road, the water supply to the area is stopped to allow the repair/opening of the blockage, then the "geniuses" will come and explain to us why they don't act this way when settlements in the Galilee discharge raw sewage into the Sea of Galilee? Why don't they stop the water supply to the "flowing" settlements until the situation is corrected?

Regarding the specific event of the detergents being pumped in, I can testify - staying in the salty section every day - that this area "miraculously came out". Two weeks later, the birds returned, partially, and probably also some of the saltwater fish. The smell hazard and the fish carcasses are also gone.
more luck than brains…
I have no indications of the sweet section that was probably emptied of the large population of catfish that was there.
Anyone know?
Is the rant helpful? Hmm... probably partially, at least it's good to vent anger. And seriously now. All those who deal with these matters by virtue of their position enter into an existing reality, since the neglect has been going on for many years, and it started even before the formation of awareness in the public.
In addition, it must be remembered that many, many of the most polluting factories were established and approved - with permission and authority, their builders did not break any law (and even if they did, the statute of limitations applied) and are now stuck with a reality that must be changed, but there are legal barriers, conflicting interests (some of them legitimate) and not to forget : a heavy cost.
Regarding the criminal lawsuits - they also have a place, in a wide range of ways of action.
There is and was no reason to treat the commenters personally - not one of them treated the writer that way.
All the respondents said that the issue is important, that it should be tougher with criminals and there is no doubt that they all understood well what was being said. They just didn't align themselves to your right, Dr. Assaf Rosenthal, and didn't say that you are unquestionably right!
The intention in the request for proportionality was completely genuine: there are other options, including legal ones, to enforce the law, such as imposing fines and explaining in a way that they will understand. Yelling and punishments will achieve nothing!
indeed a little out of proportion,
End of response in reading (and reading comprehension),
I did not suggest or hint at the level of punishment, even though I have an opinion on the matter,
That is why those seeking "proportion" will benefit and remember that,
In any accident, if the victims institute a hearing and license denial procedure, followed by a trial,
Most of the "mistakes" mentioned cause many casualties,
So there is no need to open criminal proceedings?
Apparently the legal authorities understood the results and consequences of environmental pollution
Similar to the understanding of the two commenters...
Otherwise, we see different behavior.
Absolutely right! Any mayor who has construction anomalies in his jurisdiction - to jail! And if the sanitation services do not work properly - death by hanging! The water supply was damaged - a personal fine of NIS 1,000,000!
Guys, some paraphrasing! Is it possible to compare the driver who kills negligently with a public representative who makes a mistake, or even causes damage out of ignorance or even out of negligence?
And the previous commenter is right: don't stop the speeding driver, make it worse with all the criminals who commit crimes, not with those who make mistakes (genuine mistakes).
What is this title if not flashy populism?
Why was a speeding driver arrested, and not a rapist killer?
The issue is too important to be treated with such carelessness.
By the way, what do you think about the flow of electricity and water to Gaza and the Hamas settlements?
Well done!!!
Absolutely right.
Only those who knew that they might suffer a hunter's punishment for various contaminations would eventually make sure that they were not contaminated.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that those running to be the people's elected officials in the upcoming elections will give their commitment in writing that they will pass such a law within a specified time and will not be dismissed from the Knesset.
