@Tokoroegao

The majority of Jews here are secular and we have a good economy. But the population fo the ultra-orthodox and the arab community are expanding much more rapidly because they have so many more children (having 12 children each is quite common). They were a very small minority before. But with the exponential population increase, they will soon become much more significant. And then they will have to start working to fund themselves

[Tokoroegao]

So if all Jews are spending all their time studying religious text - who is then building houses to live in, tayloring clothes to wear, producing food to eat?

[crumpetbutterdrips]

So if none of them do military service does that mean they're going to breed Israel out of an army.

These people are absolutely fucking crazy

[azrodrigues]

Fuck zionism

[rs4runner]

Why let these people have it their way on buses and such when they contribute absolutely nothing to the country by not working and taking welfare. There should be supreme court decisions on what is to be done about these people and their demands.

They 'fear god', yet they are unable to see God in the Palestinians whos lands and homes they are stealing.

@goggycozzle

Then again, if I had committed the criminal atrocities against the Palestinians they continue to do, I would be afraid of God as well.

"Those who fear God"

What kind of an idiot fears the soul and source of love in this world?
