Mickey Miro, the CEO of Kol Yisrael Radio told law students in Hod HaSharon’s Shaare Mishpat Law School “The chareidim will always be portrayed as bloodsuckers who do not do anything. Miro was addressing a class in “Social Theory and Practice, Society and Law.”
He told the class that he believes the chareidim are working hard to uplift themselves but are being met with opposition. He goes on by explaining the chareidi tzibur has been delegitimized by the tzibur at large and the media. “It is easy to delegitimize. One takes a marginalized community and buries it. Having MKs does not help them”.
He went on to attack the media, questioning how much is reported on the vast gemachim and chessed organizations – only the “chareidim as bloodsuckers”.
He stressed the importance of honest and fair reporting in the media.

Israel is in a “zero-sum” game. One side will win and survive, and the other will not. Either Israel will we a western, secular state – or a Jewish state. The losers will be marginalized and/or exiled. The core belief of the frum is a belief in Torah and Mitsvos. The core belief of the hiloni is the rejection of Torah and Mitsvos.
