gavra: As I said, cease all taxation of Chareidim, and we are in business. We have a workable solution. And if the zionists force someone to utilize some service (by making it virtually impractical or impossible to refuse it), you can’t hold it against that they are using it under duration. I have no doubts Chareidim would be better off not giving a penny to the Israeli government (taxes, etc.) and not taking a penny.
Practical services (such as police, water, etc) are provided by the government. If you want those services, then you will have to pay taxes (or usage fees). I agree with the “impossible”, but not “impractical”. People say not working on Shabbos or not staeling is “impractical” as well. If need be, those who opt out of the state can get well water & set up their own health care system.
