mdd: DM, in my opinion, the Israeli Chareidim have a history of taking extreme and untenable positions. Besides, it looks bad — they want the government funding, but they don’t want to follow the rules. It is high time to stop.
Yes, they are extreme to you because you don’t want to follow them. And exactly what rules are you referring to that the Chareidim are not following? The rule was that Chareidi yeshivos got funding and had control over their own curriculum. Now the government is changing the law and chareidim are working to prevent that. Where within that framework do you see people who don’t want to follow the rules?
I would like to ask you though, who exactly do you accuse of historically taking extreme and untenable positions?
