I may be glorifying Sefaradim but I think that this drive to say "you're in, you're out" "you get an aliya, you don't" is a very Ashkenazi thing.

Actually, the same people who oppose @naftalibennett 's / @ayeletshaked's proposal for a simple majority also oppose their demand for a super majority for peace treaty approvals.

Where were all these voices demanding more than a simple majority to cancel Supreme Court decisions when Oslo and Gaza were voted on? Then, the majority was the majority.

The problem is the demand to push them out, even with the ideology. RCB couldn't answer @erelsegal's point about how the Chareidim make the exact same claim about the Dati Leumi world - "your ideology is treif so you are out".

Rav Chaim Baruch on @ErelSegal: A masoriti person never claims to be dati. A דתי על הרצף does claim to be dati and this is the problem.

Rav Chaim Baruch on @ErelSegal: A masoriti person accepts the tradition. They have red lines (even if each person defines his own red lines). Dati'im today don't have red lines.

A small PR piece that I have to write may make or break my writing career, because I have to decide how to spell חנוכה in English.

Do people get the irony (hypocrisy) of saying that Netanyahu is destroying law enforcement in Israel and in the same breath demand an indictment against him?
