Because "To suddenly put them in an open-minded place is not good for them," dont cha know
Possibly a poor translation."To suddenly put them in an open-minded place is not good for them," she said.
Metro - Ultra-Orthodox Israeli Jews stage mass protests against religious school integration ruling
Can any of our Israeli posters explain this demo to us? There are a few things I don't understand:
Is this a serious challenge to the authority of the secular Israeli state? A demo of 100,000 in a nation of 6 million is a BIG demo. What does this mean for the Bibi government?
- Why do they object to their daughters being educated with other Jewish girls not of European descent?
- Why are they exempt military service?
- What does it mean that the reject the Zionist state?
- Why are they exempt from paying taxes?

They look like the Jewish version of the average Muslim, rather than the Taliban.They look like jewish talibans.
Why would there be shootings? That was an extremely civil demonstration. :dohI wonder how many were shot during the demonstration.
They look like jewish talibans. I heard there were also busses "for orthodox jews only", with the women sitting in the back of the bus only.

It was also a 'male' only demonstration.

Actually the women have demonstrated as well, they've just seperated themselves from the large male demonstrating group.
As i said, it was a 'male' only demonstration.

Perhaps you could explain your statement with supportive arguments instead of just saying "it was a male only demonstration"?
As I've explained to you a moment ago the demonstration has included both females and males.
You're are trying to apply some kind of 'spin' to my original statement. The demonstration in Bnei Brak did not include women. It was 'a male only demonstration' meaning, the women were segregated from the men. That is not suggesting women did not partake in their own demonstration.
Paul
Unfortunately that group is as extreme as your average Muslim.There are moderate people and extremists everywhere. These ones are the extremist ones, that's why they can be labelled as "Talibans", just like the Israeli moderates seem to do.
Ah, that kind of shooting.I don't know, maybe they had lethal weapons with them, such as metal sticks or chocolate.
The women were segregated from the men and were taking part in the same demonstration.
Those were not two different demonstrations, just two separated groups demonstrating at the same place.
You've made a false statement, I've merely corrected you, carry on.Yes, and no doubt the women had to walk a certain amount of paces behind. Strange really, you trying to defend the actions of an extremist faction within Jewish society considering normally, by default, you like to demonise such outward signs of discrimination and subjugation. I wonder why the change of tact?
Paul

My position on this protest and its background was already stated in my first comment on this thread, but of course you aren't interested with the actual story.
They did not lead a "different demonstration", they were part of the same demonstration as the men, it was one demonstration.Here we go again. Women were segregated from the demonstration in Bneii Brak that means they did not partake in the 'male' only part of the demonstration. That is not to suggest women didn't lead a different demonstration, or were part of some off-shoot.
Paul

Being separated into two groups does not mean that the demonstration is being separated into two groups, but that its demonstrators are.
Take a step back, you're confusing yourself.
Demonstration 1
"more than 100,000 ultra orthodox men marched through Jerusalem to show their support"
Demonstration 2
"another demonstration in Bnei Brak near Tel Aviv attracted thousands more"
There are your two demonstrations.
Paul
Most of the demonstrators were men wearing the long beards and heavy black clothing typical among ultra-Orthodox Jews. "The Supreme Court is fascist," said one poster.
Unfortunately that group is as extreme as your average Muslim.
The extremism in the Muslim religion is bigger than that in any other religion, and their moderates are our extremists.
