> 2 Min Read.JERUSALEM - An Israeli cabinet minister tendered his resignation on Sunday in protest at a looming coronavirus lockdown that he argued would unfairly impede religious celebrations of Jewish holidays.
> The restrictions - the most extensive Israel will have imposed since a lockdown that ran from late March to early May - are expected to go into effect on Friday, the Jewish new year Rosh Hashana, and span into the Yom Kippur fast day on Sept 27."This wrongs and scorns hundreds of thousands of citizens," Housing Minister Yaakov Litzman, who heads an ultra-Orthodox Jewish party in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conservative coalition, said in his resignation letter.
> "Where were you until now? Why have the Jewish holidays become a convenient address for tackling the coronavirus...?".
> In remarks to the cabinet as it convened to vote on the lockdown, Netanyahu voiced regret at Litzman's move but added: "We have to move on, to make the decisions necessary for Israel in the coronavirus era, and that is what we will do in this session".
> Israel, which has a population of 9 million, has reported 153,217 coronavirus cases and 1,103 deaths.
> Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, who heads another ultra-Orthodox Jewish party, came out in favour of the restrictions, saying in a video posted on Twitter that not abiding by them over the upcoming holidays would be tantamount to murder.

Hey I love this kind of antics but was the doxxing really necessary?
- "Wow you support prison for child molesters, but would you not be mad if random innocent people were imprisoned? Hypocrites!"
- >My answer would be to report this to authorities and not the general public, but then there’s the (valid) argument that authorities don’t do shit, so...I don’t know. It becomes a philosophical question about how far the government’s response to this stuff should go. So...I don’t know. What I don’t want is a Boston bomber situation.
- Reporting the DeKalb, Texas Klan members... to the DeKalb, Texas police. Think about what you're saying. Think about it really hard. And when you're done thinking, read literally any book about the civil rights movement in the last century. Also, these people arent reddit idiots just futzing around and making wild accusations, this is far more organized, and it's clear they're only releasing info that they can confirm with photographs of the people at meetings or open requests to join the klan.
- No fuck off doxxing is never a good thing to do, it doesn't matter if it's adolf fucking hitler, don't dox people
- They are KKK members and their leader raped a 14 year old. Fuck em.

Most Jewish-Americans seem to be overwhelmingly secular and liberal, and are generally associated with the Democratic Party, despite some of the recent controversies, such as the BDS movement and the Ilhan Omar controversy.
But most other Jewish communities, except possibly Canada, seem to have vastly different views. For example, most British Jews in recent years have become mostly right-wing and pro-Conservative Party.

(70% of Israeli Jews supported the previous U.S. President, and a total percent of 51% Jews worldwide supported him, whereas 30% of American Jews supported him)
What accounts for such a deeply pronounced divide between the two groups? Personally, I am not a big fan of some of Netanyahu's policies, but I do believe it is worth discussing, why these communities have such vastly different opinions and worldviews. Traditionally, Judaism has been very right-wing (conservative socially by modern standards, against abortion, drugs, non-marital relations, etc.), and the concept of a chosen people also seems to be built around nationalism and a solid sense of uniqueness and special identity. Was it only after the persecutions in the Second World War that so many Jewish people became overwhelmingly liberal and left-wing? Why are American Jews so different from Israeli and European Jews?
Do you think this growing divide in opinion is going to be a huge problem in the future? The Indian communities also seem to be polarised and divided, for example, the Indian-Americans appear to be the most liberal Asian group, but the Indians in India are some of the most conservative and right-wing Asians in Asia. Can these different views be reconciled in the coming years, especially with issues such as regarding Iran and other conflicts in the Middle East?
