From Slavery to Slavery
Book, My Final Project
From Slavery to Slavery is a critical, research-based book that draws a parallel between the Ten Plagues of Egypt and ten modern economic plagues in Israel. It exposes the key forces behind the cost-of-living crisis and the structural mechanisms that sustain it.
These ten plagues are presented not as divine punishments, but as human-made conditions, driven by concentrated interests. The high cost of living in Israel is not inevitable; it is the result of deliberate policies, systemic decision-making, and decades of accumulated political and economic power.
