1. So why did he propose closing down the non-zionist yeshivos (that is the effect of confiscating the money they raise abroad, as well as throwing the talmidim in prison) – and its pretty clear that is what is being planned (according to the secular press).
2. If he’s concerned about frum parnassah, why not propose making it legal for people to get jobs outside the hareidi community without serving in the army – at present they will be arrested if they do so.
3. If he’s so concerned, why not propose an American style anti-discrimination law requiring what in the USA is “reasonable accomodation” of religious minorities (and is Israel is considered “religious coercion”).
There is no hazakah that he is a evil person (yet), so we need to be Dan le-Kay Zechus. He may have been misled. Some people joined the Nazi Party in 1933 not realizing it would engage in genocide. He can now resign, or better, join the opposition, and come home to Torah world he only recently left.
