Israel's Ultra Orthodox

Part 1 of 2.

Australia's George Negus of Dateline presents "Israel's Ultra Orthodox".

It seems that the unending conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians is never out of the news, but there is another battle in the Jewish state that is far less obvious to outsiders. Most Israeli Jews consider themselves to be more secular than religious, but apparently the number of strict ultra-orthodox Jews in Israel is growing. Today they make up about 10% of Israel's population and their high birth rate will mean that within five years around a third of all Israeli Jewish children will be enrolled in ultra-orthodox schools.

You can't fix stupid. If a person is convinced that a book--written by goat-hurders about a man that the goat-hurders never met--is superior to modern-day science, you're never going to reason with them. find could find the intellectual curiosity to ask questions themselves ... but it's unlikely.

You can poke fun at them though ;)

I hope your joking. There is no proof of god existing, Jesus resurrecting, etc. If you want facts here's one for ya. Jesus= Sun.

[thekingofassholes]

@PhiloAmericana With the significant difference that Jews don't want to spread their religion (rather the opposite), while muslims are obliged to conquer the whole world.

Nevertheless, I'm glad if these religious nutheads stay as far away from me as possible

If all Israelis were that opposed to modern technology, Israel wouldn't exist any more (as they're so definitely in need of modern weapons).

These people are really stupid and suicidal
