The public will no longer tolerate selling Israel’s future to the haredi
parties, Rabbi Uri Regev, director of Hiddush – For Religious Freedom
and Equality in Israel, said on Wednesday, in response to a public
opinion poll his NGO recently conducted.
The general public thinks the haredi community shows disrespect for and
rejects democracy, according to the survey. Fifty-eight percent of the
Jewish public supports the establishment of a national unity coalition
government that would include Kadima, but not the the haredi Shas or
United Torah Judaism parties.
The survey data “demonstrates unequivocally that the haredi parties
managed to make themselves an anathema among the general public that
supports the rule of law and democracy,” Regev said.
While 95% of secular Jews displayed an overall disapproval of the haredi
community, a surprising 62% of modern Orthodox Jews expressed similar views.
“Israelis are no longer willing to accept the sale of Zionism and the
future of Israel to the haredi parties through dubious political deals.
It is time Prime Minister [Binyamin] Netanyahu heeds the cry of the
people and establishes a national unity government capable of bringing
about a sorely needed civil revolution,” Regev said.
According to the poll, 83% of the Jewish public considers the struggle
by Ashkenazi haredi parents in Emmanuel to have their daughters study
separately from Sephardi girls whose families do not follow Ashkenazi
haredi practices unjust.
In addition, 75% of the population supports the High Court of Justice’s
decision to eliminate income support funding for married yeshiva
students from the 2011 state budget, saying the payments are
discriminatory because there are no such payments for married secular
students.
“The public is telling Netanyahu: You do not have a mandate to continue
undermining equality by passing legislation that bypasses court rulings
and provides ‘pork barrels’ and preferential grants to yeshiva
students,” Regev said.
He continued, “You do not have a mandate to make kosher the despicable
racism in education through fictitious compromises. This is the hour of
urgency. Israel’s democratic and Zionist character is under assault.
Netanyahu has to tell the haredi parties: Enough!”
The poll reported that 83% of Likud voters and 100% of Israel Beiteinu
voters condemned the Emmanuel struggle as anti-democratic, and 73% of
Likud voters and 88% of Israel Beiteinu voters supported the court’s
decision to halt the income support for married yeshiva students.
“Israel Beiteinu – whose main constituency is the new immigrant
community that is the primary victim of the submission to the haredi
parties – as well as the Labor Party, should stand firm and make it
clear to Netanyahu that they will not be part of a government that
subjects Zionism to suicide and exhibits serial surrender to haredi
blackmail,” Regev said.
The public opinion survey, commissioned by Hiddush and conducted by
Smith Research on June 27-28, was based on a sample of 500 respondents
representing Israel’s adult Jewish population.
