Health,

1. Convince him to be mitgayer and then come yourself and promote his party.

2.All of the rabbbanim of our generation with the exception of a small handful agree that we are in atchalta d’Geula.

3. Nobody in Israel is or was ever forced to work on Shabbat.

4. Israel is not a treif medina as it is the fulfillment of a mitzva d’Oraita and according to all opinions, even those of Leftists, it has and should continue to have a Jewish character. This or that politician or government has nothing to do with the Medina as a medina.

5. Rambam says (Hilchot Melachim 5:12) that it is better to live in EY in a city whose majority are idolators than a city in Chutz La’Aretz whose majority are Jews.

Longarkel,

Democracy and Tora go hand in hand (Berachot 55a and Heemek Devar Devarim 17:14).
