Quote:What's this got to do with the Israeli government?
Because of the intricacies of right-wing politics the ultra-orthodox have strong supporters in the government. The need to form coalitions of all the right-wing slobs give these religious parties an out-sized voice in Israeli politics.
I'm hard pressed to find much of a difference between the ultra orthodox and the nuttier jihadists.
