Couldn’t have said it better…
The Jerusalem Post has Prime Minister Sharon admitting, “Budget cuts in the haredi sector have been unreasonable.”
Of course, he’s saying that because he wants UTJ to join the coalition. What’s remarkable is that the government decided last week to tell the Supreme Court that it would not accept conversions not conducted in accordance with Jewish Law - with no charedi parties currently in the coalition, and with Shinui’s Paritzky in the position of Interior Minister! We hardly saw a vote like this when Aryeh Deri had that job…
Of course, the UTJ, craven as always, is falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
