Ultra-religious Israel on the path of self-destruction

The upcoming Israeli elections to the Knesset may accelerate the ongoing process of self-destruction of the State of Israel in recent years and even formalize it. Constantly increasing due to high natural growth (associated with the religious ban on any contraception), the ultra-religious population of Israel is increasingly imposing its will and its way of life on the rest of Israeli society.

In Israel, public transport does not work on Saturdays, almost all shops, cafes, restaurants and so on are closed. Ben-Gurion airport, railway, seaports do not work. In Israeli schools, it is actually forbidden to teach Darwin's evolutionary theory, it is excluded from the compulsory school curriculum. As a result, in 2013, the majority of the Israeli population no longer believed that life on Earth developed under the influence of the laws of natural selection.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz cites the results of a survey conducted by the Shmuel Neeman Institute: it turns out that only 28% of Israelis share the opinion of modern science regarding the origin of man, 59% disagree with Darwin's theory and believe that man was created by God in the image and likeness of the Creator. Over the past decade, the number of adherents of the evolutionary theory in Israel has almost halved: a similar survey in 2000 showed that 54% of Israelis believed in the evolutionary origin of man at that time."

The State of Israel was originally created as a secular and national. Yishuv (Jewish settlements) in the still-mandated British Palestine were built by the hands of socialists - workers' organizations, trade unions, "Jewish labor on Jewish land", agricultural collective settlements - kibbutzim and moshavim.

Only a small proportion of Palestinians in the early 20th century adhered to the strict canons of Orthodox Judaism. The main population of the Jewish Yishuv was either secular-socialist and almost atheistic, or what is called "Masorti" in Hebrew - observing certain traditions of Judaism.

As part of the agreement concluded by Ben-Gurion with Orthodox Jews after the creation of the State of Israel, the state was supposed to provide completely 400 yeshiva students and give the rabbis the mercy of the issue of marriage, family, birth and funeral. This agreement is called the "status quo". Gradually, this status quo slowly but steadily changed in the direction of increasing the influence of rabbis and Orthodox Jews.

A state institution of state rabbis appeared, receiving huge salaries of tens of thousands of shekels and deciding all issues of marriages, funerals and conversions (acceptance of non-Jews into Judaism). The Orthodox population imposed their own living standards on the secular population of Israel - kashrut (strict conditions for the preparation and sale of food and food) and a complete ban on ordinary life on Saturdays. The ban applies to almost everything.

Shops, hospitals are closed, public transport does not work. Israeli goods are incredibly expensive - producers and sellers have to pay the greedy rabbis of the kashrut administration.

A secular marriage in Israel is impossible, as a result secular citizens of Israel and non-Jews must go to get married to Cyprus or the Czech Republic. The son of a Jew and a non-Jew is considered a non-Jew in Israel. Israel is the only country in the world whose citizens must leave the country in order to marry abroad and continue to live in this country.

The number of orthodox yeshiva students receiving huge benefits from the state now exceeds hundreds of thousands. These people "study" the Jewish religion all their lives, actually doing nothing and receiving benefits from the State of Israel. Israeli schools now have more Orthodox children than secular and traditional children in their elementary grades. Another 6-8 years - and these children will receive voting rights, after which the power in Israel by democratic means will forever pass to ultra-Orthodox Jews who do not work and parasitize on the Israeli state.

Timid attempts by the secular population of Israel to do at least something to somehow change the current situation and these terrible tendencies have so far led nowhere.

Secular Israelis have been trying to regain power in Israel since the global defeat by the Likud and the clerics in the 1970s. Most likely, this will never happen again. Recently, the idea arose that secular Israelis should somehow organize themselves and demand respect for their rights as a political minority in a clerical state.

The secular population of Israel has actually lost the struggle for power, and the struggle for some rights will also be lost in the future. There is no prerequisite for the fact that rabbis, who did not concede anything when they were in the minority, will concede anything when they are in the majority.

Doing nothing on Saturdays, the funeral of goyim (non-Jews) behind the fence of cemeteries (including non-Jewish soldiers who died for this country), ideologies of violence and superiority of one people over others, rabbis parasitizing on kashrut, the oligarchic system and the new Taliban (the organization is banned in Russia) in the Middle East, performed by a different, but equally harsh religion - this is what awaits the State of Israel in the near future. This will be the victory of the state of Jerusalem over the state of Tel Aviv, and it will be very soon.

The secular Zionist project "Israel" will be closed and replaced by another. Already now, the rabbis are demanding the separation of women and men in buses, women and men walking on different sides of the streets. The Israel Wheelchair Sports Federation has suspended a semi-paralyzed disabled athlete from Yom Kippur in Europe for two years. Orthodox Christians write desecrating inscriptions on memorials to the victims of the Holocaust in Yad-Va Shem. This is modern Israel, our days.

Judaism, as a religion, does not lend itself to any modification and any reforms. All attempts to reform it led only to splits and divisions of communities. Christianity, reformatory and conservative Judaism emerged from Judaism, but they have no political weight in modern Israel. It would seem that the works of Rambam and Yosef Karo, written off in the deep medieval past, have now become relevant, the monstrous norms of the book "Shulkhan Arukh" are again brought into action, new books like "Torat-Hamelech" are being written by extremist rabbis.

The coming theocratic state, the Jewish state of Israel, will self-destruct in the same way as the previous one fell 2,000 years ago. Read Feuchtwanger's trilogy "The Jewish War" - "Sons" - "The Day Will Come."

The Roman army storms Jerusalem, and the rabbis argue about the intricacies of sacrifices in the Jerusalem temple. At the present time, all these hundreds of thousands of rabbis over the decades of the existence of the State of Israel did not even bother to choose one chief rabbi and raise the issue of restoring the Temple. 1900 years ago, the semi-literate soldiers of Bar Kokhba, after a temporary victory over the Romans, immediately began to restore the temple.

The current victors do not even think about it, although they consider themselves orthodox followers of true Judaism. All they are capable of is to travel to the Ukraine in Uman on the Rosh Hashanah holiday and to atone for especially grave sins, including the sin of Sodom, at the grave of Rabbi Nachman, and every year the number of such especially grave sinners is increasing and more and already reaches several tens of thousands of people.

Israel is the only country in the world that, after World War II, adopted and applies racial theory in its political activities. Israel is the only country in the world in recent political history to have a government ministry of information and propaganda, similar to Goebbels' Reich ministry in Nazi Germany.

The main lesson the Israelis learned from the Holocaust was not breaking down the barbed wire wall, but choosing the “right” side of it. Racism and a superiority complex, originally inherent in Judaism, and which was previously hidden due to various external reasons, is now becoming more widespread as the political and social influence of Orthodox Jews in Israel increases.

One of the sides of this is the increased discrimination against women by Orthodox Jews. They require women to walk on separate sides of the streets in religious areas, so that buses (on public transport (!)) Sit in the back seats. Orthodox Jews in their places of residence sometimes behave extremely aggressively towards unorthodox women. In orthodox areas in Israel, advertisements are painted over, which depict female faces.

In the last months leading up to the elections, some Orthodox Jewish political and religious leaders and leaders of national Zionist parties, together representing about twenty percent of Israel's population, issued campaign statements setting out the conditions for their political parties to join the ruling parliamentary coalition. And these conditions are even more dire than the current reality.

These elections are actually the last for secular Israel. Whoever wins these elections - Benjamin Netanyahu or Benny Gantz, will not be able to form a parliamentary coalition of the majority without representatives of the Orthodox and the national-religious camp.

These elections will mark the victory of the Jews over the secular Israelites. Then the Israel project can be closed. It will be simply impossible to live in the future Israel. Israeli public finances can no longer and will not be able in the future to serve the growing appetites of social parasites - Orthodox Jews and settlers in the occupied territories.

Judaism defies any change or reform. The political victory of the Jews will be formalized after the elections by new coalition agreements, which any secular party that wins the elections will be forced to conclude with religious ones. You will hear a lot of interesting things.

Absolute ban on any activity and movement by transport on Saturdays. Compilation of lists of non-Jews and their discrimination under the new laws. And much more.

The new government of social parasites, which will play according to Israeli political rules, has no chance to somehow solve at least partially all these problems of the country.

What we see now in the political sphere is the end of a secular and democratic Israel, what we see now in the economic sphere is a small economy suffocating in the grip of militarization and monopolization amid the growing social stratification of Israeli society, which in its structure is becoming more and more and looks more like not Europe, but Latin America.

The Israeli model, the model of the Israeli society, is running out of safety margin created by the socialist governments of the State of Israel in the 1950s-1960s. Many of the social gains of those years are now slowly being destroyed. Emigration from Israel will only increase. The last Israeli flying out of Ben Gurion Airport will have to remember to turn off the lights after him.
