Naftali Bennett, the chairman of the Together party, declared war on Chareidi education on Wednesday, threatening that if he becomes prime minister, he’ll act to shut down all Chareidi educational networks, such as Chinuch HaAtzmai and Bnei Yosef.
Bennet unveiled a plan for an overhaul of Israel’s educational system, pledging to establish a national educational system and immediately end funding for all party-affiliated and independent educational institutions.
Speaking at the Eli Hurvitz Conference on Economy and Society, Bennett slammed the Chareidi educational system, saying: “An independent and anti-Zionist Chareidi state has arisen under our noses inside Israel. And we’re funding it from our own pockets. In the next government, we’re going to correct the historic mistake of creating separate educational systems, which created separate states.”

He considers himself “religious”! The headline should say: “Bennett Declares War On HASHEM!” – ISRAEL IS NEITHER A JEWISH STATE NOR A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY!
Thanks for all the Gaza work permits that lead to a successful Intel collection for Oct 7! And your partnership with mansour abbas gave billions of shekels to him and his Muslim Brotherhood minions, def better than supporting torah! Hopefully most of the country isn’t fooled by this rasha merusha shgatz
the political ramifications of this position are that he will not have utj or shas in any coalition that he tries to put together. this might mean bringing the united arab list into the government.
What a great ticket!: Lapid, Bennet Liberman, and the arab parties. Their capital van be in Ramalla and they can celebrate Ramadan!
IYH,
Its no different than the NY system that requires core education… having people walk around that cant add and cant function in society is abuse…
What a hypocrite and an evil person. Maybe he forgot how many millions of shekels the government spent on building him a personal bunker in his home when he became prime minister and refused to relocate to Yerushalayim insisting on staying in his private home in Ranaana. A few months later, he was overthrown and those millions of shekels went down the drain. Who is wasting government resources now?
So Arab schools will continue to be funded, how zionistic are they?
Halevi, IYH bekav be’yameinu
If there is a state within a state, then it’s the leftist Judicial – by staging war against 1.2m chareidim, he certainly won’t create neither a “Jewish” nor a “democratic” nor “prosperous and strong” state.
If anything is Anti-Zionist, then it’s the leftist opposition, harming the state in every way possible!
Calm down shaigitz. You’ll never come close to being Prime Minister again.
DrAnti-Torah; stop including HASHEM in your ANTI-TORAH AND ANTI-RELIGION HATERED! Do you know what IYH stands for? IF GOD WANTS – NO, HE DOES NOT WANT!
I wonder what they teach in Arab Public Schools, Israeli taxpayer funded Quran and terrorist tutoring
When Begin became prime minister and offered increased subsidies to religious schools, Rav Shach warned not to take too much and keep private support system active as politics can always change… and it is pretty simple: politics is a joint decision by citizens.
If citizens of the country do not want to sponsor religious schools (as they do not in many US states, for example), then it means they do not see the value. As this is a Jewish state, it is sad that decades of flourishing Jewish schools did not show how great Judaism is to majority of voters. Maybe work more on being nice to them.
The idolater has it backwards. The Jews (chareidim) in Mandatory Palestine were doing much better before the Zionists invaded and before the Zionists created their “State” within that Mandatory State (and, yes, the pre-“State” Chevron Massacre happened *because of* Zionism).
Regardless, Netzach Yisrael lo yishaker; Hashem will not allow these evil heretics to destroy His Torah and people.
DavidtheKanoi, I would not say IYH after wishing you a small measure of intelligence. That would be taking God’s name in vain.
HaKatan, an educational system that does not teach its students a profession needs to be overhauled. Bennet is good Jew following the dictates of the Gemara; you don’t want to teach people to be a ganav!!
Naftali maybe you should also have all chareidim gassed like Hitler did. What happen to you. You are a chillul hashem and someone should take care of you for good.
I hope the next missile lands on your fake yarmulke
