Shraga- did you say thank you to the government every year when you received the gift? Obviously I hope you get your gift back but as others have explained already your gift was coming at the expenses of others who might have needed the same gift. I truly believe that the charedi parties never looked at it as a gift but rather as a right, and had they looked at it like you as a gift and said thank you there is a good chance you would still be receiving it.
And before saying that the attitude of the charedi parties is what the gedolim decide MK Porush recently stated that they do not consult the gedolim on every move . Indeed he admitted he did not ask a gadol before embarrassing the charedim by handcuffing himself to the podium in the Knesset.
