Spirit of Tunisia is infectious

Here’s an aerial view of Israeli General Yoav Galant’s house, picked up by Haaretz, then passed along by Yuval Ben-Ami, who writes:

This is Israel, not California. Houses such as Galant’s are not common here, to say the least. Even Israel’s wealthiest suburban communities, such as Kfar Shmaryahu and Herzliya Pituach, both north of Tel Aviv, are mostly made up of massive villas situated on relatively small plots of land. Galant’s house, in a moshav on the Carmel highlands, is outrageous by Israeli standards. Galant is not a businessman; he is supposed to be an army man, a public servant. What is the meaning of this?
