A Secular State? - Israel
Synopsis
In November 2007, tensions rise in Israel as strict ultra-orthodox Jews challenge secular values.
Synopsis
In November 2007, the increasing number of strict ultra-orthodox Jews in Israel raises concerns about the nation's secular identity. Many citizens express resentment towards the special treatment afforded to the orthodox community, highlighted by complaints from individuals like Alon Nativ, who points out that they do not serve in the army and contribute minimally to taxes. The ultra-orthodox community's rapid growth, driven by a high birth rate, leads to escalating tensions with secularists. A notable incident occurs in September when a delicatessen selling pork is firebombed, illustrating the deepening divide between these two groups in Israeli society.
