The problem becomes when you call anyone who wants to take away funding a “Rasha”, and declare that funding is a “right”.
Well, under the law previously, that funding was a right. I also recall hearing that some gedolim stipulated that charedi mosdos would be self-governming when they were forming the state, but I can’t recall who or for what.
I think the problem you have with calling them “Rasha” is not that they are wrong per se,just that it is bad politic. I think this is in-line with the garbage-burning way of protest. One of my rebbeim explained to me that in E”Y the only way for Charedim to get attention to their needs is by taking extreme measures. I am uncomfortable with it being raised in America. But if that’s the position they are forced into, what can they do?
Look, maybe you are right in the end. Maybe in the minds of the Israeli Charedim they have been demonized for so long, that they start to by into it.
