I'm ashamed for this behavior of some officials in our country. A country that insists to be democratic should treat all citizens equally.

The time has come for the Israeli government to stop "splitting hairs". Either we are a democracy where all are treated equally or we are in fact as our critics like to say an apartheit state . The Ministry of Education should stop sitting on the fence and state their objections openly without trying to come to compromise solutions that make matters worse.

In Israel, Jewish religious schools receive full state funding while Christian schools receive less. Got it. Nice democracy you have there.

Some information for all of you who know so much. These church schools are requesting to receive the same funding as the schools of the Jewish ultra orthodox sector who by the way teach LESS core curriculum subjects (Math and English) It may interest you to know, that the government schools have recently carried out partial strikes in support of the church schools.

PLO flags at the protest.
