	Ephraim Kishon (1916- )
		Kishon's greatest enemies are the establishment and bureaucracy: when people unite in groups to organize their business, this leads inevitably to imbecility, evil, repression and insensitivity.
		Kishon himself met such bureaucrats when he got off the boat and he brings them in different roles in his works: speaking a grandiose officialese, they personify the corruptible and impersonal face of an impossible bureaucracy.
		Kishon was a patriotic satirist possessed of an incredible insight into the human and political minds of the real Israel, from the early years until his death.
