Why do Israelis never thank America for bankrolling all this?

In Ohio, Holmes County in 2020 was on the precipice of becoming the first majority Amish country in the US. Given Amish fertility rates, it probably already has, although that won't be confirmed until the next census. Developed societies -- as they're currently structured -- seem to optimize for strictly endogamous and highly religious communities who land in the goldilocks zone where they're insular enough to prevent assimilation into the surrounding society, while still interacting with it enough so they're not seen as parasitical or threatening by the rest of the population. Although Haredi welfare queen habits in particular do leave them open to accusations of parasitism.

I once worked with a guy who lived there. It's basically just another religious modernist prison, like Elad. Religious people living in white cuboid houses and car oriented streets, meanwhile in Tel Aviv zoomer girls with baggy jeans pants and midriff give oral sex on the banks of the yarkon river.

Imagine the strain that this fertility rate puts on infrastructure, services and education. Imagine how bad is the future of these people, how poorly educated they will grow up to be, how unqualified and lacking in everything.

>>22784 Yeah, the look on the ground doesn't make it look very appealing. >>22786 Do you view them as a bigger long-term problem than Arabs for Israel, given their increasing demographic weight?

>>22798 I'm not a good person to speak about Israel, neither a good representative. I also don't like speaking about Israel. IMO, I believe the elite of Israel intentionally pushed for immigration and high birth rates as a military necessity and as a way to create roots on the ground. But now who is the "elite of Israel"? Anthropophagic state, eating itself. If they consider the enormous birth rate of ultra orthodox a threat? Maybe they even consider it a boon and a great way to stay in power. Or maybe the ones on the wheel are already religious themselves. But for me it's insane, Israel survival depends on it being an export oriented economy, it doesn't have resources, yet the education, skill and competence gap is growing and growing.

>>22800 Thanks for the insight. >It doesn't have resources, yet the education, skill and competence gap is growing and growing. Sounds familiar, but I can see how Israel's precarious circumstances would make the trend even more of a threat if permitted to fester, as you said. At the very least, from what I understood the base potential of the average ultra-Orthodox Jew isn't bad. Neither dumb (in the IQ sense) nor violent, meaning they only need to be broken out of their lifestyle. That can't be said for every 'troublesome' population.

>>22784 >meanwhile in Tel Aviv zoomer girls with baggy jeans pants and midriff give oral sex on the banks of the yarkon river Please tell us more. How easy is it to rizz Tel Aviv zoomer girls?

>>22811 I often argued this with my friends, saying that religion, culture and lifestyle are just software; and that history saw several secularization waves and movements, within even Judaism itself. The reply to this is that the catching up will be long and painful (if it happens at all), not to mention the great fracture of society that already exists.
