Scroll to 5:09, wherein he says, "Listen, I'm a Jew..." AND 5:18, "I'm not a self-hating Jew", AND 7:01, "WHERE YOU HAVE PEOPLE...SPEND THEIR ENTIRE LIVES PRAYING-- NEVER WORK!"http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:50nIUs6Ip_UJ:www.jasher.com/Telaviv.htm+heradim&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1 The
Heradim, the ultra orthodox Jews, here try to force their practices on the whole
country, but 90% of the people are not religious and they don't like to be told what they
have to do. If you drive a car through the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem on
the Sabbath, they will throw rocks at your car, in spite of the fact that it is quite a bit of
work to throw stones and it doesn't look like they should be working on the Sabbath.
They will shout and mistreat women who do not dress according to their standard of
modesty. That means wearing short sleeves or shorts dresses that are too low cut, etc.
They are always trying to use their political clout to force legislation that suits them.
They usually have families of 6 to 10 kids and the other groups of people are worried
that they are trying to simply populate themselves into control of the country. Ari says
that most of the men who visit prostitutes here are the religious men. They would not
dare to carry on with one of their own women, because of the backlash from their
community. I guess we don't have a corner on religious hypocrisy in our country. I hear talk about the heredi all over Israel. It is said that they do not serve in the military. The reason is that hey do not recognize the government of Israel as legitimate because it was not established by the Messiah. Likewise, they do not pay taxes to the state. They are able to get by with it because of their tight communities and their trade among themselves.
