They went completely crazy! • Opinion

Chapter 1: Europe

Europe has allowed communities driven by extremist religious ideology to grow in its core.
These extremists are fueled by institutionalized hatred that is passed down from generation to generation, and contribute nothing to the society in which they live.
They survive mainly at the expense of the state, but they despise the enlightened democratic regime that has absorbed them and allows them to live in relative prosperity.

The dominance of religious ideology

They act against the state and society in which they live, exploiting its democratic and liberal values ​​for this purpose, and dreaming of dominating it with their religious ideology.

Disproportionate demographic growth

They also do this through disproportionate demographic growth that brings disaster closer every year.
And the change is already visible.

The character of Europe is changing, and its human and cultural fabric is increasingly damaged.
There are entire neighborhoods that local residents will not enter, even the police are afraid to do so.

And what is the state doing in the face of this hostile and dangerous population?

It carefully protects the social rights of members of these extremist communities, and their freedom of expression to go out and harm the liberal principles on which that country was built.

These communities are also usually poor. The state is therefore careful to support them economically, and it does so from the tax money of its productive citizens, who still adhere to liberal and democratic values.

We all see this, rub our eyes and ask:

How screwed up can these stupid Europeans be?
Don't they see that this is leading them to destruction?

But we know that these Europeans have long lost their way.

Chapter 2: Israel

Take Chapter 1 and replace "Europe" and "Europeans" with "Israel" and "Israelis."

Multiply the magnitude of the problem several times over, and add a country that is constantly in existential danger. Also add that the budgets that the State of Israel spends on those who despise it are imaginary, and that it actively encourages their behavior.

So it's true that the Europeans have gone crazy, but compared to us, they still seem completely sane.
And anyone who wants to understand the problem, of which evasion is only the tip, is welcome to read In an article published here almost two years ago.

  1. A divisive political article in times of war!!!
    In the next elections, there will be a left-wing government and all the Haredim will be drafted into the army 🤪

  2. A. True. Europe was conquered by tribes wearing kaffirs. There will come a day when it will be forbidden to build a church taller than a nearby mosque.
    B. Stupid comparison. There is an extreme anti-Israel faction that shows how much you don't understand the state, but treating all Haredim as one bunch of free-eating parasites proves your complete lack of understanding.
    And I say this also as someone who volunteered for the benefit of the general public and most of the partners in the work were Haredi.
    Haredi people who work and whose children serve in the army.
    It's a shame to compare them to the Muslim tribes that will destroy Europe.

    • Your response - stupidity. You don't know Europe. Every word is correct. In my opinion, the continent is almost completely lost. In a few years, if they don't kick the Muslims out of the continent with their endless procreation and the Hamas mentality with the Quran that aspires to Islamize the entire world with their primitiveness...

    • You forgot to mention that, unlike the Haredim, whom you took pains to disparage, Muslims make a significant contribution in Europe and also in Israel to crime and terrorist attacks. Ugly and anti-Semitic article. Shame and disgrace.

  3. Mr. Opinion Writer, you did not write which population you are referring to. In Chapter A, based on the pictures, I already guessed who it was. So if you were referring to the same population in Chapter B, what do you want from them? Why should we expect everyone to serve and fight their Palestinian brothers?
    Besides, I also didn't understand in general what the issue has to do with religion? For example, members of religious Zionism/settlers/colonizers enlist in the army and reserves in the highest percentages of all sectors, and on the other hand, they are still marginalized in the media, in the courts, and in the media, and their representatives in the Knesset receive humiliating and critical treatment in the Israeli media.

  4. I don't compare fanatic Muslims to ultra-Orthodox Muslims, but equally I don't see them as a positive population or as our flesh-and-blood brothers.
    On the contrary: the Haredim constitute a violent cancer in the body of the state with severe metastases.
    The only chance to overcome the disease is a complex operation in the form of a military coup that will impose decrees and restrictions on the parasites and deprive them of basic rights.
    It is appropriate to outlaw anyone who does not donate. There is no place for parasites and leeches.

    • It's really sad that you define them as cancer. These are our brothers who entered all the settlements in the Gaza Envelope. They managed to find body parts that our Nazi haters call the remains of the murdered, just to bring as many organs to the grave as possible. The missing ones. They helped those researchers bring the missing parts.
      They have many associations that are subject to the entire survey, such as Ad Dara and other associations whose daughters have disappeared from their homes and who have managed to bring them home, some of whom married Arabs, brought their children from the state, but the state has no say in this. So come and go. It is really terrible against them and it is disgusting how a Jew behaves. The gentiles who come out against them. As you know, for many years the army did not want to recruit them for fear that the Haredim would be forced to behave. They really wanted to force them on them and thus harm the army. Therefore, as little as possible, recruit Haredim from Bnei Brak. You go out against the Haredim and what is found is that Tel Aviv's number of those who commit is not high in relation to the population and because of the Arabs, they do not want them to be recruited. They go out to get twins in all hospitals and all kinds of support in their community and so on. First of all, look at the hump of the secularists. It is interesting that we are over ten million and I will go two hundred Haredim. So I say that not only the Haredim are the problem.

  5. A poor and cowardly comparison.
    An entire article about Chapter 1 and not even a word describes who it's about?
    They are compared in Chapter 2 to the best-off population in Israel, whose crime rates relative to the general population are zero, not to mention security offenses.
    Military service? It's worth doing an article sometime on how many secular people were discharged from the army in the 20 years before 7/10 for various reasons, and also how many draft dodgers from within the sector.
    You are afraid to generalize and stigmatize them.
    It's easiest for you to take care of the weak.

    • Not angry, just vomiting from the high-pitched incitement of this boring redhead

  6. Horrible comparison!!! Shame on you!
    It's true that we have a problem with our Haredi brothers, but they are our brothers and flesh of our flesh.
    We need to strive for dialogue and agreements, and not treat them as enemies.
    Your words do not shame the best anti-Semites in the world.
    Confess your sin… and apologize!

  7. A vile and outrageous comparison between a murderous and predatory Islam that stabs a knife not in the back but between the eyes, whose ideology is destruction, devastation, death, compared to the Haredi public, which, although not a lover of Zion, will never murder in the name of religion.
    Just a comparison for the sake of sibling hatred.

    • Wouldn't he murder? His act is what puts him in prison, if you remember anything from history.

    • An ultra-Orthodox person would never kill in the name of religion?
      Have you ever heard of Yishai Schlissel?
