"Push for binding Jewish law roils Israel; Justice minister’s words assailed by secular majority" by Amy Teibel, Associated Press | December 9, 2009
JERUSALEM - Israel’s justice minister called for Jewish law to become binding in Israel, causing a stir yesterday that cut to the heart of the country’s simmering secular-religious divide.
Yaakov Neeman’s office tried to contain the uproar yesterday by saying that his words were taken out of context and that he had no intention of replacing Israel’s current legal system.
Yup, that's what ZIONIST JEWS ALWAYS SAY after they have STEPPED in SHIT!!!!!!!!
But his comments touched a raw nerve among secular Israelis wary of what they consider to be religious coercion by the Orthodox Jewish minority.
Neeman, an observant Jew, told a rabbinical conference on Monday that the Bible contains “a complete solution to all the things we are dealing with.’’
“Step by step we will bestow religious law upon the citizens of Israel and transform religious law into the binding law of the state,’’ he said. Israeli newspapers said the rabbis attending the conference applauded him wildly, but some lawmakers later attacked his remarks as antidemocratic.
Secular Jews make up about 80 percent of the Jewish population. While many participate in some religious observances, only the Orthodox adhere to Judaism’s strict regimen of rules, including praying three times a day and not driving on the Sabbath.
Opposition lawmaker Haim Oron warned of a “troubling process of Talibanization’’ in Israel....
Well, when a BUNCH of ZIONIST WHACKOS are ENCOURAGED to SETTLE and STEAL LAND these kinds of things are GOING TO HAPPEN!!
Could NOT HAPPEN to a NICER GROUP of PEOPLE!!!!!
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!
You MADE YOUR STINKING ZIONIST EXTREMIST BED, iz-ray-HELL, so SLEEP in IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neeman said his remarks had been misunderstood. He added that rabbinical courts could provide practical help. “The justice system in Israel is overworked,’’ he said....
So WHAT did they MISUNDERSTAND exactly?
The notion of instituting religious law in a democratic society is a sensitive one in Israel, which is largely secular but marks the Jewish Sabbath and all Jewish holy days as national holidays and has always allowed rabbinical authorities control over procedures like marriage and divorce.
Oh, but WHEN MUSLIMS let clerics DO IT its WRONG!!

Yeah, and when you consider the fact that Israel is a gangsters paradise for organized crime you can see why they would be concerned.
Secular Israelis are afraid that a wider application of religious law would bar them from activities such as driving, shopping, or even turning on the television on the Sabbath. Heavily religious Jerusalem, which has experienced a flight of secular Jewish residents over the past two decades, is the site of the most faith-based friction....
I really DO NOT GIVE a S*** about ISRAEL'S JEWS and THEIR PROBLEMS anymore, you Zionist PoS!!!!
I mean, WHO REALLY GIVES a CRAP about ONE NaZionist fringe group or the other?
