Gaming the system is not just an Israeli passion, not just an Israeli activity but more like an Israeli necessity. This is because prices are out of alignment with salaries.
Of course, the people realize this and, of necessity they relish each triumph over "the system".
For example, teachers get a deep, deep discount in purchasing software as part of their 'benefits'. This 'benefit' justifies rather low salaries. The teachers thus have an incentive to find people other than themselves who need software, then buy the software at the discount price and resell it to other people at about the average of the discount and retail (plus tax) price.
How many people do this? Well, its best to take a 'don't ask, don't tell' take on this.
