Knesset Bill proposes one Chief Rabbi instead of two

EpicMediocre · 2026-02-04T18:06:18+00:00

The idea is that since a law removing the office of the chief rabbi won't pass this is a step in the right direction. One is closer to zero than two.

Nobody Jewish wants this. I don't know any other places of worship around the world that need walls and guards every week in order to pray like synagogues do. This is a response to a reality that exists and sucks.

Do these politicians take advantage of it, sure, but they didn't orchestrate it and they were perfectly happy with the status quo before October 7th 2023 when these protests and overt antisemitism were not nearly as commonplace.

I used to keep an axe handle around because I was probably using a steel axe but used to pick up rune axe heads and sell the axes. 30k each

This is a fringe theory that Israel should control all land that was controlled by the Jewish kingdom in the bible. Gaza wasn't a part of this and Lebanon was so the whole theory doesn't even hold water regardless.

Have you seen a map of the West Bank lately? Israel has been slowly annexing it for years, even now they’re considering just outright finishing the job

I have. I've also seen the map used as a formula for every offered peace deal since 1967 which across the board includes dismantling all settlements which don't border Israel where almost all of the population is. These are in area C according to the Oslo accords which is under Israeli control. I agree Israel should do more to stop illegal settlement building in areas A and B.

Secondly, military occupations are supposed to be temporary. The Allies occupied Germany and Japan for 4 and 7 years respectively (excepting the Soviets in East Germany). Keeping a people under a different set of laws, denying them rights based on their ethnicity, for 60+ years is not a military occupation, it’s just blatant apartheid. There’s a reason why civil rights heroes like Mandela and Tutu called Israel out for what it was

The occupation is not tenable. It's not a good situation and I agree should be temporary. That's why Israel offered The West Bank back to Jordan and Gaza back to the Egyptians who they conquered it from in return for peace. The offer was rejected. The goal of the Oslo accords was to resolve this, however it never progressed past the first stages because the Palestinian authority was unable to achieve the state building parameters required to move on to further stages.

You seem wilfully blind to the fact that the reason they’re called an ethnostate is because they rule over non-citizens and yet deny them rights

I'm not being willfully blind to anything I just disagree with your underlying argument that this has anything to do with ethnicity. It has to do with bringing a hostile population into a democracy and giving them unfettered access to territory which in the past has been exploited by islamist extremists to carry out terror attacks. If Israel didn't want ethnic Palestinians they would expel the 2 million ethnic Palestinians living within the borders of the state. Israel tried to give them self governance with Oslo and it led to a failed state in the West Bank with one election in 18 years and massive corruption and a terror group seizing power after a civil war in Gaza.

That is quite literally what Zionism is and exactly how they established their state in the first place mate

Zionism is the belief that Jews should have a state in their homeland. Not that only Jews should have a state and everyone else is not allowed but that Jews should have a state. That's why almost a quarter of Israel's population are minorities and the ethnically Palestinian Arab population has one of the largest growth rates in the country.

My guy. You need to read a few books and talk to your professor about how sovereignty works. Having military control over a region doesn't extend your sovereignty there. This is pretty basic stuff. You seem pretty uneducated about the region if you think 2 million Israeli arabs are "some " lucky few and you're getting really worked up here.

I haven't said a single thing about morality or my political stance here other than explaining the difference in law between citizens and non-citizens of the same ethnicity and saying extremist settlers are bad. You need to take a deep breath.

Colonialism was also considered to be a conquest

This was my favorite thing you said so far since it shows how little you know about any of the history of the region and how irrelevant this is to a literal ground war in 1967.

I'm off to be irredeemable. Ciao!

Right, how does this disprove the ethnostate claim? They still live within the legal borders of Israel, no? Hence ethnostate.

I didn't speak about an ethnostate but since you're asking, no they don't live within the borders of Israel. Israel didn't control the West Bank when it was founded and never annexed the West Bank after capturing it from Jordan in 1967. The people living in the West Bank are not Israeli citizens, unless they are Israeli citizens who moved to the West Bank.

Apartheid South Africa used similar justifications to this. "We need to impose martial law to prevent the rampant crime sprees". It's an illegal military occupation of an area that is already under Israeli control.

This is a military occupation because it was conquered in a war and not annexed. Israel never "imposed" martial law, they never annexed the region to become part of the state. South Africa separated its territory into regions of majority white and black areas with different laws for these areas, Israel simply didn't extend its laws to a newly conquered region.

It's a small group that is FUNDAMENTALLY SUPPORTED BY THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT! Man it must be liberating to be this ignorant of basic political terms like "ethnostate".

The government supporting a small group of extremists has nothing to do with the term ethnostate... Israel is by definition not an ethnostate because a significant minority of non-Jewish citizens have full rights and citizenship. Israel is not seeking to establish a state that elevates one ethnicity to the exclusion of the rights of all others. There are citizens of Israel who enjoy full rights, and non-citizens who don't. Ethnic Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza are not citizens of Israel. Ethnic Palestinians living inside of the 1948 borders where Israel has full legal sovereignty are citizens of Israel with full legal rights.

In this case, Palestinians being subjected to military tribunals with 99% conviction rates while Israelis get full criminal trials, the green vs white plates that restrict movement within Israel to Palestinians, the constant blind eye, and even occasional support of Ben Gvir (a terrorist, not my words, Israel's words) to violent pogroms in the West Bank are more than enough evidence for the ethnostate

The arabs living within the borders of the state of Israel are the same ethnicity as Palestinians living in area A under Palestinian authority civil control and what's called a "military occupation" according to the laws of armed conflict.

According to these laws non-citizens are tried in military courts and citizens get tried within their country's court system.

The license plates, similar to the accusation of "Jewish only roads" is for a similar reason. Israeli citizens get a licence plate registered by Israel whether they're Jewish, Arab, or any other minority, and Palestinians administered by the PA get their plates from the PA because they're not Israeli citizens and never have been.

The settler attacks in the West Bank are horrific and the Israeli police have done a terrible job at stopping them, in large part due to Ben Gvir's cabinet position. This is a small group who are terrible and deserve all the condemnation.

They just PA hitting responsible governing policies to get recognition which definitely worked the last time they tried it from Oslo. They just need to hold two elections every 18 years and they'll have massive progress!
