Bring Them Home
What Majority
After two and a half years of pillaging every resource they possibly could find during a war their members do not participate in, the Orthodox parties in Bibi's coalition left his government. The laws that allow them to avoid any contribution to society while collecting stipend after invented, ridiculous grant are not strongly enough in their favor (they say). Sadly, it is not likely they will participate in a no-confidence vote to take down this government - particularly now that the Knesset is about to go on its summer break that lasts (I'm not kidding) 84 days!
The tragic irony is that while relying on anti-Zionist parties and a majority of members who did not serve in the military, this government had no issue sending soldiers to battle for nearly two years. This government is finding new and insulting ways to protect those who don't, and as of this week without a Knesset majority.
Another soldier killed himself while on leave this week. He was the fourth to end his life in the past two weeks. Since the start of the war 42 soldiers ended their lives.
As Jews I don't think we believe in hell and I'm not sure about the biblical word Sheol in that regard. That said, if other theologies or writings by Dante and the like are any clue, that place is too good for this lot.
