Say aren't there religious Zealots in Israel that basically live as "Welfare Queens"? I did read some articles about them harassing women who don't live according to their "rules" and going so far as to throw rocks at Schoolgirls attending a girl only school that was near one of their Enclaves.Man the Zionist mobs are the same as the white supremacists here. Scared to death of black people. Only thing that was missing was "AMERICANS WILL NOT REPLACE US!"

Indeed, the U.S. town with the highest rate of people on food stamps is the all-Hasidic New York village of New Square, north of New York City, where 77 percent of residents rely on the program to eat, according to a new report.

In 2015, the New Jersey state controller's office flagged the disproportionate sums of government money being absorbed by Lakewood. The town didn't look poor by any conventional yardsticks of poverty.
"You have a family or six or seven or eight, somebody is paying the mortgage, somebody is paying the taxes, they have two cars in the driveway, they've got food for all the kids … and they're reporting their total income at $10,000,'' said Joseph Coronato, the Ocean County prosecutor who took the lead in the case. "You have to ask — what is going on here?''
In one case unsealed by the court in June, a couple with six children are alleged to have reported their income at $39,000 per year — low enough to qualify for Medicaid — when in fact they were getting more than $1 million annually from a limited liability corporation.

The price we’re paying came up this week in a seemingly arcane statistic about the labor participation rate of ultra-Orthodox men published by the treasury. The percentage of working-age Haredi men who hold a job or are actively looking dropped in the past 18 months below 51%, from a peak of 53.8%. By comparison, for non-Haredi Jewish men, the rate is 87.6%.
So what?
For any economy to prosper, it needs to have as much of its adult population as possible in the workforce to produce goods, perform services and pay taxes (as against seeking government help). For many years, Haredim in Israel have preferred their men to shun work in favor of full-time religious study, and a growing system of government support starting in the late 1970s enabled them to do that.
By the early 2000s, as the percentage of nonworking ultra-Orthodox climbed and the community’s population swelled, the situation was becoming economically intolerable. The money going to allowances was a strain in the budget and Israel’s low labor participation rate was a growing drag on the economy.
Looking ahead, the problem will only grow worse as Israel’s population ages and the growth of the overall workforce slows. In short, if the ultra-Orthodox don’t begin to hold up their end of the economy, our children and grandchildren will be a lot poorer. If they don’t serve in the army, we will also be a lot less secure, for lack of recruits.

To be honest I don't see much if any difference between one group of folks claiming to be the Master Race and another group of people making the claim that they are the Chosen People of some "god". With both groups claiming the right to land never mind any other Cultural/Ethnic groups already living there.lol Israel isn't really any different than America, it's stratified on racial lines with white Jews (Ashkenazi) on top.

It's amazing how similar Orthodox Jews are to Saudi Wahhabists, sounds like they have their own community backed morality police.Israel has been a fascist state a while already, and as long as you support the current government it doesn't matter how extremist you are, they will only intervene if you cross the line so far that the even US starts complaining too.
