Frum folks in the Holy Land are subject to the same tax laws as anyone else. They pay the same rates, but don’t receive many of the benefits. Many they are denied (as above) and many they refuse to accept (i.e. many frum schools that refuseto accept government funds they are entitled to by law.) So there is no reason they should benefit any less from the hospital.
And the point about Gaza was the Israeli government is already down to destroying religious zionists! “
How does the government limit those “frum folks” from getting jobs? By limiting their education to 7th grade English and math–at best. Sorry-I am afraid those frum folks do that to themselves.
Inf act, the govt. has many training programs in place, including several high-tech ones, exclusively for Hareidi men–such as the Israel Space Agency’s program for satellite data analysis. Hmmm, where else can a nice Yeshiva boy (without a college education) get into a program like that? The US? But it is always nice to be able to blame someone esle for one’s woes–without taking any responsibility for one’s own actions.
Actually, those frum folks are not subject to the same tax laws as they are exempt from paying city and property taxes in many places. And many refuse to pay bituach leumi, which pays for national health care–but still receive that health care.
