Bennett, leader of the “Yachad” movement together with Yair Lapid, announced that if he returns to the Prime Minister’s Office, he will act to shut down all Haredi education networks such as “Bnei Yosef” and the “Independent Education” system.
He claimed that “a separate, anti-Zionist charedi state has been created right under our noses, and we are funding it from our own pockets.”
Bennett presented his education plan titled “From Tribes to One Nation”, aimed at establishing a unified education system in Israel. As part of the plan, he said state funding for sectoral and independent education systems would be stopped immediately.
Speaking at the Elie Hurvitz Conference for Economy and Society at the Israel Democracy Institute, Bennett criticized the charedi education system, saying:“A charedi state has been created under our noses, an independent, anti-Zionist state inside Israel. And we are financing it ourselves.”
He added:“In the next government, we will fix the historic mistake of creating separate education systems that created separate states.”
He also clarified:“I am not only referring to the charedi sector, this is also true for schools in the Negev that do not teach Hebrew and employ Palestinian teachers. The principle is simple: no state education, no state funding.”
Bennett’s plan proposes that at least 60% of the curriculum in all schools will be dedicated to core subjects: Hebrew, English, mathematics, Bible, civics, and Zionism. The remaining hours would allow schools to expand their curriculum freely.
He concluded: “We will dismantle the state within a state and create here one Jewish, democratic, prosperous, and strong state. I am telling you, it is possible. And it will happen soon.”
“Utzu eitzah v’sufar, dabru davar v’lo yakum, ki imanu El”
he has already proven he is inept and incapable of carrying out the duties of the PM!
Wow – this is SCARY. His downfall will come quickly if he tries this.
I now reminded my self that the beirach moshe of satmar.said at the time when.his uncle the divrei yoel established.keren.hatzuleh to support financially the institutions who don’t take money from the isreali government that like we understand that Russia wouldn’t help it’s enemy America with good intentions the same way.we.have to know is true when.the zionists give money for chareidi mosdos
The Eirav rav are seeking to usurp the Bnei Yisroel from Toras Hashem. The Gra writes this will happen in the end of days.
Have all Chareidim move to the 60% of Gaza under Israeli control and let it be an autonomous region. We’ll have a great security buffer in Israel and the Chareidim can do what they want.
taking money from the medinah is precarious – it just means they can pull out the rug from underneath – chinuch atzmai should be truly independent – if Klal Yisroel supports it, the tzionim won’t win
if he is speakig at the Elie Hurvitz Conference for Economy and Society at the Israel Democracy institute, his proposal is the opposite of democracy.
He’s looking for a civil war
Ah shtik eyrev rahv,
Yimach shemoi…
Yet charedim think the answer is to overthroiw Bibi? because you’ll get someone better?
Maybe this arab loving rasha should close schools under mansour abbas that teach terrorism
In the very near future, Charedim will be the largest single “stream” of Israeli students, outnumbering secular, dati leumi, and Arab school sectors. Deep down, everyone knows that it is impossible to run a country in which the largest sector does not teach math, science, or English and subsists off the other sectors and the earnings of overworked moms. The sooner the Charedim come to the table and help come up with a solution to this problem, the better that solution will be.
Maybe Meir Kahane was right. A two state solution cannot work unless the two states are totally separate and each is self contained and self supporting.
The chareidim cannot be expected to shoulder the burden of carrying the DL, the mesorati, and chilonim forever.
Charedim should secede from country called “Israel” to run their own state. If arabs demanding their own “two state solution” is tolerated by secular public, then why not have two state solution for Charedim.
this is a FRUM ZIONIST.
excellent….any normal Israeli would agree with this…an advanced country can’t have a third of its citizens uneducated and incapable of caring for themselves, let alone contributing to society
