Reply To: Boycott of Meretz�Unfair!!

If the Chilonim’s only prob with the Charedim was working -they could pass legislation allowing them to work without army time.

And since that is what is planned, you should have no problems.

The difference is that Lapid did not categorically refuse to be photographed on the first day of the new coalition together with Meretz, even if they acceded to his demands. He did say that about the Chareidim.

Of course not! Everyone knows that pictures should not be taken of the Gedolim! People might photoshop in Kupat Hair or something.

Seriously, Lapid stood for stopping funds to the Charaidim. Anything short of that (and looking like he is kow-towing to them) would be going against his word. He did not campaign on stopping funding to Meretz, and had he done so, he would not have wanted to pose with them either.

Besides, if the Charaidim would agree to what the coalition has decided, I have a feeling that they would be “let in” (of course, with no power or money, but they would be part of the “coalition”).

Meretz boycott = unfair!!!
