It is a tiny minority of ultra-Orthodox who carry out such attacks. But many Israelis believe the country's character is at stake. They resent the fact that most ultra-Orthodox men don't work or serve in the army. Instead, the government gives them subsidies to carry out religious studies. One man here told me Jewish religious extremism posed a bigger threat to the country than Iran.

This is hard to understand. With all the problems and issues the Israelis are facing, that these “extremists” (whatever that means) are stirring up problems within the Jewish country.

This begs the question: Are they really Israelis, or Muslims in sheeps garb??

Some of them actually smeared vomit on the window of a bakery because of the prohibition of eating leveaned bread buring Passover.

Nothing good comes from allowing able-bodied men to be on welfare. They should serve in the IDF and get a job like everybody else.
