Yossi Sarid The Great Haredi Rebellion Is Raging on Several Fronts

For many years the culture war has hung over us like a dark cloud, like a threat. Now it is happening; the war has erupted. The great Haredi rebellion has begun and is raging on several fronts - in Jerusalem, Ashkelon, Jaffa, Immanuel, Be'er Sheva - and no place is safe. The ultra-Orthodox public, which has always been cutting down our trees, is now uprooting them. It will destroy basic values, without which a democratic, developed state cannot exist. It will be lost unless it fights back.
