Israeli cabinet crisis: Netanyahu to meet all coalition leaders

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu schedules meetings for Sunday with the heads of all his coalition partners Sunday, in an effort to resolve the cabinet crisis over the conscription bill. This piece of legislation has polarized the cabinet between the ultra-religious factions who want it passed, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman who threatens to resign if is carried, with other members shuffling in between. The set-to is holding up passage of the state budget by the end of the week, which threatens the government’s survival. A snap election is in the air unless the prime minister can pull his coalition together.

    The fact that the IDF, finds it necessary to place women in combat roles, tells me, there is a shortage of manpower in Israel. If the Haredim, want a continuation of their stipends, then they must place a minimum of 25% of their young men in government service. All male training and units should be provided.

    What about non-combat national, civilian service – it would definitely uncover the black-hats true motivations !
    Why wasn’t it ever offered and/or imposed ?!

    I’ve got a better idea! Why not marry off all the Haredim to the Palestinians, and form a Palestinian State that is married to traditional and Orthodox Judaism? Trust me, neither the Palestinians nor the Haredim want to remain in a union with the non-religious leftist Jews. This way, Haredim won’t have to send their young males to secular Israeli institutions (like the I.D.F.), and Palestinians can get that state they always wanted.
