OUR MAN IN WIMBLEDON FINALS. _____________________________ SUMMARY OF EDITORIALS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS Yediot Ahronot believes that, The education system in Israel suffers from a more basic disease: It expresses social values centered on comfort, accommodation and apathy, and adds that, This is a system that does not push the student towards achievement. The editors complain that discipline is utterly lacking and suggest that, In the end, educations achievements and failures reflect the society in which the educational process takes place. Hatzofeh says that, The Chief-of-Staffs declaration that we won the intifada
cannot change the truth the State of Israel has been beaten, and asserts that, The political leadership, led by the Prime Minister, bears the blame for the defeat. The editors accuse Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of wilting under pressure and capitulating to American and Palestinian demands and believe that, In contrast to the Israeli government, the Palestinian leadership has shown the ability to withstand much more severe pressure than was applied to Israel, and has remained steadfast in its positions. The paper claims, however, that it is not too late for Israel to reverse the situation.
