“Cuts to the child benefit affect chareidim and arabs far disproportionately, and that is what they are sold as doing.”
I agree that that is reprehensible, but it would be reprehensible to make these kinds of cuts if they didn’t affect charedim and arabs disproportionately.
“Blaming people for being poor (right or wrong) is different than de-funding welfare in a way that specifically targets minority groups.”
The Republican cuts to welfare programs are indeed targeted to have the worst impact on minorities. Only 34% of SNAP participants are white.
I hope you will join me in condemning both the Yesh Atid cuts in Israel and the Republican cuts in America. They are identical in purpose.
