Israel's Religious Demographic Crisis (and why it's only going to get worse) 

🇮🇱

New video!!!!!!

It is pretty annoying how some people use terms without knowing what they mean. Can you define what the hell do you mean by "far/extreme/ultra" right?

Interesting. The "Russian Jews" section gives major clues as to why Israelis have been mostly silent on the Russia-Ukraine situation.

Wait they don’t have one ?

@@Juanguar Disagreements, they decided to add chapters throught out the countries lifespan.

​@@Juanguar No we do not,we have "Basic laws" which theoretically in the end should add up to the constitution.

​@@JuanguarThey don't, they have an uncodified constitution, a situation similar to the UK and San Marino.

Every nation 🏛 needs to organise their laws 📜 from the current mess they are in. Israel just has to write a constitution to give a consistent framework to do everything else with. Afghanistan needs one even more. Though the West keeps on annoying it with relatively minor issues, because the West has *no* concept of *priorities.*

שלום, מה קורה?

Agreed. Factually accurate and slanted opinion kept to a minimum - kolakavod

​@@TheMichaelmorad בסדר מה המצב

No israel

Same here!

It's called good college n university education with lot's of assays & research experience.

This guy never misses. Even on Ukraine where people were screeching that he was spreading Russian Propaganda you could not really dispute any of the issues he brought up.

There is no such thing as 'the objective truth' in politics. Political science is relatively low on the scale of academic hardness. A large part of it, by definition, will always be fact fused with opinion. Take the way the juidicial reforms are interpreted. I see it as perfectly legitimate for the executive branch to want to curtail the power of the juidiciary. In the Trias Politica, the juidicial branch is supposed to be the weakest of the 3. One of the biggest threats to the ability of a people to govern itself, is when judges acquire quasi lawmaking power. The power of the juidiciary should be severely curtailed. Judges do not answer to the people and therefore are not under direct democratic control and their power to effectively dictate elected officials how they should go about governing the country is a sinistre prospect. One which has, for example, been at the root of the social unrest in the Netherlands, where an unholy alliance of environmental loonies + activist judges have compelled the government to crack down on an imaginary problem with nitrogen emissions, which will, if these activist twats get what they want, cause Holodomor-scale mass starvation. Of course, because our government is truly despised by the people and the Farmer's Party just won a plurality in every single provincial government + in the Senate, this will not happen, but these environmental radicals and their globalist shill judicial allies will not go down without a fight. If there's one thing you shouldn't do, is give the juidiciary a position of power over the executive branch. And that was what the reforms in Israel sought to prevent. Now, you can disagree with this analysis but you cannot argue that it's nonsense because it is 100% rooted in logical thought. There, by definition, is no 'objective truth' when the exact same scenario can be completely rationally analysed in opposite ways depending on one's focus. Political science is not a hard science. A significant portion of it is interpretative and cannot be separated from one's personal political ideology.

Me when WonderWhy uploads

Thanks honey 🍯

Its country of interests (Like any other country) , It does not care about principles and morals (Well to much anyways)

true, but the type of relationship where the US will fund, defend and support a country on every concievable level might change drastically if Israel decides to become another dictatorship. though, one of the larger reasons why the US supports Israel is because of insane american christians who support Israel for religious reasons.

Says “CEO_Of_Racism”. Ok kid

​​@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 it has mostly to do with the Israeli lobby (which is a Jewish American lobby not Israeli) and less to do with evangelicals. As long as American politicians from both parties are sellouts to the intrests of them the US won't leave the middle east alone.

@@moisuomi I as the CEO of Racism have hereby declare the end of Racism

And the divisions between Israelis too.

You’re right, it’s not Israel vs Arab, it’s orthodox and zionists vs Arabs. Shame that distinction doesn’t really change anything though. Huh.

​@@inz1 Truly I don't think it has to be anyone vs anyone, except corrupt governments vs people fighting for freedom

​@@inz1 its secular zionists vs ultra orthodox jews(ideological rivalry) vs islamism and pan arabism,nkt arabs.we have druze arabs and samaritans and maronites and certain bedouin trines in our army. we dont have anything against "arabs" for being arabs(so many of rhe palestinians are arabizes,from blond ahed tamimi to the african neighbourhood in the muslim quarter of the old city in jerusalem),we want a secular state vs the people who gave have their votes to hamas in 2006 elections,and before 1948 followed haj amin el husseini .... its true certain orthodox parties try to push us to a more religious way,we push back,but here its ideological rivalry that never resulted in violence.

@@user-we4ih1tp7n One of your prime ministers was killed by a right wing Zionist. There is very much a tension in the country.

I thought most Israelis are Progressive, Secular and Agnostic?

It doesn't mention the divine between Ashkenazi Jews and Sephardic in Mizrahi Jews.

@@ronmaximilian6953 you probably meant "divide" but good Freudian slip!

​@@ronmaximilian6953 there isnt much divide as "gaps". 25 percent of the israeli jews are of mixed descent(mizrahi/sephardi and ashkenasi),the number of people who date across those line is always growing. there are financial and political gaps due to historical practices

​@@nicholasphelps3872 tell that to the Samaritans.......

99% of indian are religious , still it is secular democratic country . It is about society

@@PokemonU-xc4cx its not about society ultra orthodox people dont care about democracy, in their perspective the only valuable rules are those of the jewish law

The only way a two state solution will be possible is with the world intervening and forcing it. The situation is far beyond what any political personality on both sides can manage, it is simply fucked up.

Really, any peace deal would inevitably have to dissolve anyway, whenever the USA's 🦅 influence weakens enough that the modern Islamic ☪ nations start collapsing due to their incredibly weak institutions without effectively subsidies. So don't weep to much. Not saying they can't regenerate, but they will definitely die ☠ just due to the massive amount of reordering they need.

I don't think there was a chance in the 1990's. The Oslo accords were (in hindsight) a huge mistake on Israel's part. After finally getting rid of Arafat's terrorist bases in Lebanon and having him banished to live the rest of his life in Libya, after losing hundreds of soldiers for that mission (first Lebanon war or מבצע שלום הגליל) Rabin brought him back and made a terrorist as legitimate as any other prime minister. It was a horrible mistake, A. trusting a terrorist is always a no go, Jewish (like modern day Smotrich and Ben Gvir) or Arab alike B. making a terrorist organisation legitimate(???) stupidly bad idea. C. Lastly is the fact that Arafat's PLO has already had a competitor, the Hamas terror organisation has become no less legitimate in the eyes of the Palestinians and fiercely opposed the peace deal, sending suicide bombers to blow up busses and streets. It was truly a horrible time, but nothing as bad as the second intifada. In the second intifada the PLO used it's new found authority and self rule to make the Arab cities (across the green line) bomb factories, sending gunmen and suicide bombers to end the lives of Israeli citizens. That showed the Israeli citizens once and for all. There is no partner for peace. But hey, Hindsight is 2020. We were all blinded by the opportunity of peace. If only the leaders didn't fail to understand what was best for us.

As an Israeli I'm not so sure u are right actually... In the near future it's not possible but might be in the farther one. Those demographic shifts are not necessarily gonna happen. The predictions were always wrong in the past

@@itamarplayz3153 One of the main objectives of the Zionist state was ensuring the expulsion of arab people from thier homeland. Zionism never had any plan for a two state. Zionist only want everything for themselves

Of course you guys want to secularize the religious capital of the world. It's the the simple fact , the thousands of years Israel has been a nation. Israel never stood under a secular mind state. Only proves the Muslims should rule Israel!

As long as "Israel holds a secular understanding to other aspects of lifestyle" is important

It was duotheistic

Lasting peace can only by obtained by telling the truth as best we understand it.

Just watched it now. So good, well done. Yeah, I'm glad that others can appreciate how difficult such topics can be, and how challenging it can be to find the right balance.

Your video is great, by the way. Coming from the Israeli.

מתי משיח בא ?

@@denigorelov9909 הוא אפילו לא מטלפן

1)"cant marry or do anything"- is there any law banning a cohen from dating a divorced lady,or a jewish lady dating a guy of muslim background without marrying? the video mentioned marrying in cyprus, we have "yedoeim baztibur" (ידועים בציבור) which grants you most rights of a married couple,you can form a better spousal agreement in a lawyer's officd than in the rabbanot... 2) yeah in the classes israel is defined as jewish and democratic,jewish in the national sense,hebrew. no bans on atheists. in the national tv there is a seriss,hayehudim baim,which basically mock up lots of biblocal and rabbanical figures...are you saying judaism is just a religion again ignoring the hebrew judean kingdoms here and us being the majority here till 300 c.e?

It was well done, I am always astounded at the massive political difference between the majority of Israeli Jews and the majority of American Jews

Not exactly. The ethnoreligious basis of Israel makes it a bit different, in that you have traditional and even secular Israelis who vote for chauvinist hardline right wing parties. This is the case even though the existence of the majority of their lifestyle is predicated on liberalism. That is because those parties are always seen as less of a threat than Arabs (read as non-Jews)

its kinda ironic for me cause im an israeli and i have a brazilian citezenship

This is kind of world wide phenomena

Shall we speak of Daevas and Ahriman? Zoroastrianism, particularly ancient Zoroastrianism was far more polytheistic than that practice to today.

zoroastrinism is also dualistic religion,talking of contant war between good and evil gods. judiasm is more strictly monotheistic nowdays,but sure. all the region has vast pagan influence.

Zoroastrians were actually Pagan for much of history before they became monotheistic.

Arguable if that is monotheistic

Ancient Zoroastrianism was more polytheistic than that practiced today.

I should hope so, ultra orthodox jews (or really ultra orthodox anything) are LUNATICS!

This is very true many Haredim are Assimilating/Leaving,still I think the overall Israeli population will definitely be more right wing in the end.

The idea sounds nice, but I am not certain that is actually the case.

I'm not sure that's true about the ultra orthodox, the last data I've seen about it doesn't show a significant movement like that, though that was about a decade ago so things may have changed. But it is true for religious Zionists, with some data suggesting that as many as 50% of children born to religious Zionist families end up as secular, with some even joking about how religious Zionists give birth to more secular Jews than the secular Jews. This might also explain why that sector seems to have grown more extreme over time, the people who weren't were probably more likely to leave it.

​@@yakov95000 Not necessarily... Just look how opinions has changed in the last few months. The right wing parties lost a lot of support in less than 4 months. They became a joke

I don't start fights in the Middle East.
