#2 Everybody has 'em I guess. So their identity to them is bigger than Israel?

#3 we could focus on the ultra orthodox vs IDF females

or we could focus on the thousands of anti semitic tweets from the arab world

but there were some contrary things

secular Jews in Israel lined up to donate blood for victims and Israeli arabs in the north donated food and blankets

so there was that also

#4 #2 This particular sect (there are dozens) self define as anti-Zionists, Dron. In particular, no military service (others dodge, rather than openly refuse to serve). According to them, the only occupation for a Jew is study of holy writings - but not all of them, only the ones approved by the the head Rabbi (a hereditary position in every sect). Actually, the "study" is more like rote-memorization - sounds familiar? And, of course, since their studies are so important - Holocaust happened because not all Jews were like them - they expect the rest of Israelis to fund them. And since nobody can build a ruling coalition without ultra-orthodox parties, they get it.
Did I miss something? Ah, their proportion in the population doubles every generation (12 kids per) - so the financial burden is becoming significant.

#5 Thanks, Grom. I see, much like our own saffron clad biographers of the hindoo menagerie. We need them to make governments too.

According to them, the only occupation for a Jew is study of holy writings

Gawd, how much holy writings can one study? There's only so much truth to chase before you have to cook up some fantastic inanities. That's the problem with too much religion.

#6 there are quite a few different groups that make up the ultra orthodox - only a few are anti zionist

some even allow men to serve in National Service or even in the IDF; not many though, the total number of ultra orthodox in the country exceeds 1M and the total in National Service is about 4k (including IDF). This, though a small percetage is several times more than 10 years ago. The IDF has encouraged ultra orthodox to consider alternative national service in many cases where the men do poorly in language, math and science tests.
