(112,806 posts)Conspicuous by their absense are all those black robed religious nuts who don't want women to ride the same bus they take to work and won't sti next to a woman on an airplane. You know, the ones who have all these little spinter parties that Netanyahu has used for years to form coalitions and stay in 0ower after the majority have tried to vote him OUT.
I hope's afraid enough now to use a fake passport and move to a condo in Miam,i Beach to live out his life in unearned luxury after fighting a war so brutal it has left Israel with few friends.

(1,724 posts)I'd say less than half of the orthodox men actually work, they rely on government handouts to house and feed their families of eight whilst they study religious texts. Completely worthless societal leeches.

(60,231 posts)... a lot of Ultra-Orthodox are reported to be actually anti-Zionist.
I've lost friendship with friends who became Orthodox because they were trying to separate from the more worldly aspects of life in the US. And I miss them.

Closer to home, New Yorks Hasidic Jewish religious schools have benefited from $1 billion in government funding in the last four years but are unaccountable to outside oversight.
"The Hasidic Jewish community has long operated one of New Yorks largest private schools on its own terms, resisting any outside scrutiny of how its students are faring.
But in 2019, the school, the Central United Talmudical Academy, agreed to give state standardized tests in reading and math to more than 1,000 students.
Every one of them failed."

(1,724 posts)around here, it's nice to have a pleasant back and forth.
Also, this from October 15, 2020.
"NEW YORK An overwhelming percentage of Orthodox Jews in the United States plan to cast their ballots for President Donald Trump come November, according to a poll published Wednesday.
The survey from the communitys Ami Magazine found that a whopping 83 percent of Orthodox Jews said they will vote for Trump, compared to just 13% who said theyd support the Democratic Partys nominee, Joe Biden. Four percent of respondents are undecided, with just 20 days remaining until the election
The poll also found that 76% of respondents believe the media is unfair to the president, while 14% said they believe that the press is mostly fair to Trump."

(3,748 posts)It -should- be us now, protesting against all the extra "due process" and help *rump is getting in avoiding accountability for his lawlessness.
We (globally) have to start taking down and dismantling all these fascist governments. The timing was right for them to rise, due to governments being in bed with big business all over the world, and heightening the difference between the have's and have-not's. The teeming masses have had it up to 'here' with all that. They've kicked governments out of office and taken chances on other forms, but nothing changes for them. It will be the same way here. One day Magas will wake up to realize they're no better off than they were before *rump came into their lives, and in many, many ways they're worse off. Plus, their freedoms will be as compromised as all those they "hate." I wonder, will it take another attack on the U.S., or the U.S. getting itself into another war, to tip the scales in this country?
I've said for years BiBi has got to go. He's part of the new Axis of Evil, as is trump and putin. But there are also a lot of mini-hitlers running countries around the world. They all have to go, and light and freedom has to reign supreme once again.

I can oppose Netanyahu as a leader for Israel and also support Israel's self defense against terrorists.
Dislike for Netanyahu does not equate to opposing Israel's need to destroy Hamas.
