Israeli Rabbinate try and segregate IDF function

[Post To The Left]

As I talked about earlier, Israel is facing an upcoming demographic crisis that will hit when the ultra religious Jewish fundamentalists take more and more control of Israel with their increasing population. Already a harsh form of Judaism is being exported to Israel where women are erased from all forms of life like last year when an American Newspaper edited out Hilary Clinton from a picture because as a women she was thought of unclean and dirty.

In addition to eliminating women from public life, as shown even by editing out pictures of women in newspapers, Jewish religious leaders are slowly restricting how people can dress, act and function in society. Large sections of Israel have areas where women are forced to cover-up, men wear beards and other oppressive measures. Due to the high birth-rate of Orthodox Jews these Areas will expand exponentially. Already Jewish groups are seeking to purify their race by preventing mixed marriages. During negotiations with the Palestinians they also seek to expunge all non-Jews from Israel.

Now in another crisis the powerful Jewish "Rabbinate" are further extending their misogynist tentacles into the secular IDF:

The traditional "Hakafot Shniyot" event, which comes after the holiday's formal conclusion and includes dancing with the Torah, was held in the Eshkol regional council area in the south. ... The separate women's section was set off by cloth sheeting, but according to one of those present "it was very hard to feel connected to the event there." The event was attended by about 500 people, including a mix of civilians and soldiers, among them, about 100 women soldiers. Those in attendance said before the request was made for them to move, the women had been dancing at one side, separately from the men and also separated by a long table. The women soldiers were then ordered by an officer from the military rabbinate to go to a separate, closed area about 50 meters away.... -- Haaretz.com 23.10.11

Luckily the brave women of the IDF stood up to these religious zealots and out of principal left the party rather than be shunted aside. I hope everyone can applaud their bravery in standing up to these religious extremists and that Israel can maintain its secular culture from the Jewish extremists.

Sigh. Stupid religious people. They always ruin everything. One can only hope Israel's atheist/agnostic/moderate demographic grows fast enough to keep the ultra religious a permanent minority.

Now the Jewish extremists are attracting attention over their inability to have women and men sit in the same seat. Due to Fundamentalist Jewish men thinking women are inferior beasts that should be covered and hidden away women are forced to ride in the back of buses in Jewish Areas of New York:

New York City has threatened to close a bus service run by Orthodox Jews if it doesn’t stop segregating its seats and forcing women to sit at the back of the bus, according to Time.

The Private Transportation Corp., operates the public B110 bus under a franchise agreement with the city, It has been heavily criticized after news reports made known that the bus makes women "give up their seats in the front to promote Hasidic customs of gender separation," Reuters reported.

How long before Jewish women are forced to cover their bodies on the streets of New York so they don't offend Jewish men?!?! Stand with women everywhere against this injustice and these Jewish extremists!

These people and the Islamists deserve each other. I say give them all knives and send them against each other. Hopefully not too many will be left after that. Then everyone else can get on with living in the twenty first century.

That's the problem though. Israel is sitting on a demographic time bomb. Soon Secular Jews will be VASTLY outnumbered by non-working ultra Jewish extremists and hostile Israeli Arabs not to mention a huge population of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza.

Israel is undefeatable NOW but the tide is coming in and not even they will be able to stop the ocean.
