MK Moshe Gafne announces that he remains at the forefront of the system, always looking out for chareidi interests, making sure the chareidi tzibur gets what it is entitled to.
Gafne, who serves as chairman of the Knesset Finance Committee, on Wednesday, 22 Adar-I, addressed employment for chareidim and the lack of integration of chareidim into the workforce. Gafne explains he plans to take the matter directly to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit. During the Wednesday session, Gafne began questioning officials in various ministries regarding the severe discrimination, and how chareidi women are by and large sorely underpaid when compared to their secular counterparts elsewhere in Israel. At one point he apologized for speaking out too harshly on the matter.
Gafne read off a list of names of chareidi employees whom have been mistreated, promising to pass the names along to the relevant official in the Economy Minister. He feels the minister himself must become involved directly towards correcting the situation which exists today.

Why would Hareidim be entitled to anything, especially in Medinat Yisrael, whose very existence was for the purpose of turning the Jewish people away from Torah and Mitsvos, and from whose perspective that hareidim are a problem in need of solution (though Baruch ha-Shem, their less violent in their question for a solution to their “Jewish problem” than some of the goyim).
Nobody in this world is entitled to anything, except for akuperma – he’s entitled to his opinions, ridiculous as they are.
akuperma: If you’re correct, they’ve failed miserably since there is more Torah learning here than anywhere else. Also, those enemies of Torah have funded more Torah learning since 1948 if dollars far more than ever before in history. Granted, their goals weren’t what it should have been, but they also deserve credit for what positives they did.
Gafne is the worst politician I’ve ever seen in my life and I know too many of them, but if Arabs who contribute nothing of value to society (with some exceptions), get every benefit any Israeli gets, then nobody has a right to complain about what Chareidim get.
i dont see anything ridiculous about the above comment of akuperma at all. they may be entitled but they shouldnt expect anything from a government that despises torah true jews.
