The Ugly Israeli

16 Shevat 5786 

In 1963, a movie came out in the US called "The Ugly American" starring Marlon Brando.  It was about American meddling in the affairs of other (lesser) nations.  I guess today it would be called "Democracy Building."

Anyway, with that in mind, I often look at these anti-Torah chilonim and think to myself "The Ugly Israeli".  Here is a perfect example...

The B’Tzalmo organization submitted a formal request on Sunday to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara demanding the opening of a criminal investigation against a candidate in Yair Golan’s Democrats party on suspicion of incitement to racism and calling for her disqualification.

The request follows footage from a private political gathering posted on social media, showing the candidate presenting demographic data about the Chareidi population and saying, “They double their numbers every 25 years…this means that in 25 years they’ll make up 50 percent of the population—unless we stop it.”

She then claimed that Chareidi birth rates have dropped over the past few years due to financial sanctions. “I can tell you that over the past three years—since sanctions began, since we stopped funding schools without core curriculum studies, and since we stopped subsidizing daycares—birth rates have gone down,” she said. “Now this process must continue.”  (Source)

It's just one example, but these sentiments actually run far and deep in Israeli society.  We really have to keep in mind the fact that this is NOT a Jewish country and it is becoming less so every single day.
