Israel General Discussion: The Return of the Rotation Government

[Walmart_shopper]

The Haredim always manage to sneak into these governments. Ugh.

Tbh? We had a "thin" government without the Haredim in 2013 and nothing really changed. If we want secular reforms, we need to get the religious zionists out just as much as the Haredim. And if we want good government, we need to get Likud out of power.

Honestly, the pace snd scale of secularization in Israel is so dramatic that it doesn't really matter what the government does. Society is running laps around government and the Haredi foot-dragging can br viewed as a desperate attempt to slow things down. The reality is that even Haredi society is moving faster than government, so the Haredi political game is something of a joke.

How so?

Well they do say that religious couples give birth to more secular babies than secular couples do.

Haredi society built around the idea that rabbinic leadership is the final world not just on halachic matters but also politics and other more mundane matters. That is changing every day. More and more Haredim are doing what they want (going to university, working, etc.) regardless of what some rabbi says. If you understand Haredi Judaism you understand that this is revolutionary and will absolutely bring down the Haredi power structure within a generation.
