Lapid appeals to haredi public
Finance minister says haredi leaders lose grip on devotees, who must cooperate with law to end circle of povery, join society
The finance minister further added that "What is concurring is not an attack on the world of Torah. We have no intention of imposing secular values and our way of life on you, nor our version of 'Israeliness.' This state was created so that people could live as Jews without fear of prosecution. Yet we can't go on like this. If Syria is falling apart and thousands of al-Qaeda terrorists are laying seige on our borders, this is your problem as well, and we need you there wielding weapons."
Lapid then asked his audience to conjure up a scenario where war has broken out and Israel is invaded by its enemies, and everyone is called to arms. "You're called to protect our children from the enemy, and no one budges. They all pretend it is not happening. It is occuring outside your window, just as the economic crisis is going on outside your window and it's time to stop pretending that you don't exist."
"If you believe you have something to contribute, don't hedge yourself, don't close yourself off from us. Our commitment is to accept you as you are.Your commitment is to stop treating us as gentiles. This law will give you the opportunity to remove the barriers of hostility. It will give you an opportunity to improve your situation and make a proper living, to stop counting every shekel."

curiouser and curiouser.
weren't the haredim the indigenous jews, around before zionist migration?
very odd message to send to the world, kinda like a heavyweight glove fighter having "i have a glass jaw" tattooed across his forhead in big, fat, bold letters.
