People.

I'm sorry to be blunt, and no, I'm not racist or trying to be "OH LOOK, JEWS". Look, Israel is wrong about what they're doing to Palestine and hamas, and they, just today, just shot rockets that killed people for no loving reason. Again.
Could you knock it off, Israel? And pretend that every time you do this poo poo that it's an attack on your personage? Because it isn't.

I think it's uncool and bad what is happening to Palestine. I think they should also get an Iron Dome, that way it's fair.

For real though, it's amazing to me that one side has F16s and drones armed with MIRVs that is keeping people in an open air prison and blockading foreign aid of food, medicine and water, and the other side has homemade "rockets" made of scrap metal and ammonia from human piss and it's the latter that are seen as the bloodthirsty psychopaths.

We gotta support Israel cuz the Bible says so, something about Jesus coming back and killing everybody who's not an American, I think? Either way, gotta support the team.

What really pisses me off the most is that Israel is incapable of getting control of their right wing super orthodox faction (remember that deadly stampede just a week or so ago where they had completely ignored all safety and occupancy standards? And that doesn't even mention the covid risk) and stopping them from continuing to blatantly steal land. Of course there's no peace! They keep treating Palestinians like animals and stealing everything they have, so their two-faced insistence that they want peace is totally belied by almost everything they do. And the settlers only continue to steal.

This election isn't going to be any better, either. The right wing is still incredibly strong in Israel and whatever happens to Netanyahu any government will still include the right wing. Israel has basically been stuck under a Trump-like figure since 2009 and under right wing governments for a lot longer than that. Of course, they're voting for them but I at least feel bad for the ones who aren't and who genuinely want peace.

We have that faction in NJ and they live in a town called Lakewood. All my Jewish friends hate them.

i am a haredi apologist. if you look at the haredim, you will find the families who were most terribly damaged by the horrors of the 20th century. lag b'omer is in part a celebration of the end of a historical plague; the haredim were beset by a historical plague just last year, and israel was one of the only places in the world that managed to hold it at bay. that's why they celebrated the day so ferociously, with tragic results. there are many among the haredim who love peace and hate the tyranny of israel. they're not the simplistic monolith that outsiders think they are.

While some of what you said is true (although kind of besides the point), they still represent the far right wing in Israeli politics and vote that way too, and also are the prime offenders when it comes to stealing or "settling" Palestinian land.

I don't dispute that there are probably people in those groups who feel differently, but the fact is the ulta-orthodox as a whole are probably the greatest barrier to peace that Israel has because they are hard-liners and refuse to stop doing things that make peace impossible. They aren't the only ones but it's definitely a huge issue.

quote:

An in-depth study published in April 2019 by the Israel Democracy Institute found that the positions of supporters of the Haredi parties on matters of foreign affairs and security are even more hawkish than those of right-wing parties like Likud and Hayamin Hehadash.

Additionally, the study found that 68 percent of UTJ supporters advocate the application of Israeli sovereignty in the territories, a rate similar to that of Hayamin Hehadash and Likud voters. Other studies by Professor Tamar Herman show that the rate of Haredi support for the positions of the political right are nearly identical to the rate of support from national-religious voters.

I don't care how much they celebrate anything, although it would be great if people didn't get killed and they followed the most basic health and safety regulations. Mostly it is their position in politics and as hard-line settlers that continues to be an issue.

It has never been tried in the courts. If it did I am guessing it would be shot down. This is probably why no one has tried to press one of these agreements. It would risk the whole sham blowing up.
