They are doing the same to Jewish schools. This isn’t mentioned because it interferes with their persecution complex and desire for leftist help.

So an attempt to economically squeeze Jewish schools too in order to be taken over by the state justifies the same attempt against Christian schools? Christians should just keep quiet and let the state close down their schools?

I don't think you understand Israel. They have budget issues. Also, they have a big problem with religious anti-nationalists and with the religious who have no skills and limited employment after religious school. They are fed up with welfare for the ungrateful religious.

This is fascinating. Is what is going on here a salami slice campaign by the Israeli version of DOE to strangle denominational schools and force students to get their education from a very secular-liberal state system? The only exceptions are the Orthodox Jews because they band together and wield enough electoral clout that the secularists have to play nice with them to make them potential or actual partners in some coalition government or another.

I know I have read that the Israeli educrats detest ‘settlers and their settlements’ because most ‘settlements’ have their own self governing schools.
