From the front page....
They talk about Modiin Illit, and Ultra Orthodox community in the foothills of the Judean Mountains. It has 45,000 residents and 30 Births per week.
They claim not to be Zionists, or Settlers, have no ties to Judea and to be willing to go along with what the world wants according to the NYT.
They quote Yaakov Gutterman (The Mayor) as saying:
We have gone through the Holocaust and know what it means to have the world against us.
The Torah says a man has to know his place.
If this is true, and it very well may be, it shows another major fissure in the unity of the nation of Israel. It shows some of the fundamental differences between factions of even "Orthodox" Jewry.
Where is the unity? Each "sects" belief is so strong that they believe that their way is the only way! Would this group be hurting themselves by standing with the rest of "A" religious right platform?
What will it take?
