Who Will Feed Me Tomorrow?

Who will feed me tomorrow?
That's the question the cat asked before the Jew who used to feed him every day was taken to the concentration camp. Dr. Martin Kieselstein told me he needed to add a bottle of wine to this work in order to complete it.

I understand that Mor Eliazarov expressed her feeling that Israel is going to collapse but since 2001 a few years passed and nothing changed so I guess this feeling will always have its place, but who knows what will happen?
