Reply #6: its nothing more than a power struggle....

[pelsar]

the haredim have always believed in this, as their numbers grow (10x kids per family.....) they expand out from the limited neighborhoods and expand in influence in the jerusalem govt.

what we're seeing is the result.........its an endless battle between "good and evil, light and dark, chaos and control......liberal vs religious extremism

they've got the advantage, more kids, and they've got god on their side which pretty much gives them a moral pass on most anything....
