After the cabinet on Sunday, 29 Tammuz 5773 passed the Share the Burden Bill, Finance Minister Yair Lapid, the force behind the bill stated “after 65 years we correct the distortion of equal burden, which is in favor of chareidi society and for the benefit of society at large, real equality. It is an historic day.”
“We’re all excited. This is the what toppled governments, finished the careers of politicians. Now, after three months the government brings historical change, which is a great thing for everyone,” Lapid added.

If Lapid has his way, Hareidim would be given two choices: 1) become “modern” (similar to the Dati Leumi group); 2) either leave the country or turn to the Palestinians as the only other option.
The thought of the second option, or even a lesser form, cut a deal with the Israeli left to end conscription in return for undermining the Dati Leumi “Eretz Yisrael” camp — will force Likud and the Dati Leumi to look for an alternative.
And if not, people like Herzl, Ben Gurion, Netanyahu and Lapid will be remembered along with people like Shabatai Zvi and the Jacob Frank — and Medinat Yisrael will be remembered as a dumb idea that caused much mischief before making it to the dustbin of history.
What a fool!
What Lapid is saying is absolutely right, we have thousands of ehrliche yiden bnei torah that are learning torah mitoch hadchak mamesh living in small apartments with meager meals with kimat no shichus to olam hazeh look just how many seforim is constantly coming out from bnei torah that are totally into torah(shas mesivta shas Lublin just to give you an idea)how much kedushe how much tahara how much chesed. On the other hand the secular how low are they how many things are they doing against the torah how many things are they doing that the torah says that eretz yisroel does not accept and will spit you out we must be sure that the midas hadin is mekatreg why should the secular have the zchus of the torah to watch over them and protect them in a land that has no way of existing al pe teva when they are doing everything against the torah. so that is what Lapid is saying we have no sheichus we secular don’t want any part of this we are totally against this way and proclaim loud and clear that this protection they will not have (playing right into the hands of midas hadin r”l)

Sorry to say but Lapid is an idiot. Even if you are secular you don’t go they way he has.
