Ultra-Orthodox to feel the blow as unprecedented power in Israeli government ends

Good riddens. Its about time that we got rid of these blood sucking leaches. Its about time that these Ultra-Orthodox good for nothing loafers got the boot, they brought nothing but harm to Israel with their backwarded thinking and ideology. Next move it to draft them into the army so they too can feel what it is like to lose a loved one and to suffer like the rest of us have protecting their promised land.

The rise of Yair Lapid reflects a change in the dynamics of Israeli society. WE have a young generation with modern ideas who use social networking, ipads, and their like. Others with outdated ideas that belong to a bygone age have no right to rule over the future generations of such a dynamic country as Israel. Democracy is rule of the people by the people. The people have voted, and the vote is change. Unlike our neighbours we have not resorted to violence for this change, just a simple slip of paper. It must be respected!

Between the 3-4 million non-Jews who can't vote at all in Israel's territories, and the 1-2 million Palestinians who are effectively shut out of the political process within Israel, Israel's governments already represented no more than 60% of the population Israel rules. So shut out the Haredim as well. That cuts the proportion of the population actually participating in the government to 50% -- at best. You guys are on your way...

The Interior Ministry under Yishai also made it difficult for individuals who were not considered Jewish according to halakha to immigrate to Israel. How could Yishai help keep Israel a Jewish state? Tsk, tsk, naughty boy.

you are about to witness what happens to israel as a regard to the criminal policies of 2 stupid arrogant guys who decided to keep a whole people out shameful

Being coalition partners gave them much more power than their numbers warranted. Now they will get the power their numbers deserve.
