Our current government is ruled by a bunch of fools.

...none of us drive on Yom Kippur because it is a tradition not to do so.
But just wait for it, they pass another law like this and we're all going to start driving on Yom Kippur...because these people don't have G-d in their hearts they have a desire to control it is hubris and will end up causing more trouble than solving anything!

The only difference is the the people of Iran are demostrating in the street. The Israelis... Well are still waiting till Orthodox multiply so much and it
Will be too late.

It can’t be said enough: No one is preventing Orthodox or Ultra-Orthodox Jews from observing the Sabbath as they see fit. The problem is that they—the Orthodox—not anyone else—want to dictate to *everyone* what to do and how to live. This is exactly the way that Islamic states operate—to their own detriment in the modern world. Is this what anyone wants for Israel? Israel can ill afford absolute dictation and control by Orthodox obscurantism (disguised as beloved Jewish tradition) leveled on a whole state which has to operate in the contemporary, modern world—far, far distant from the times and conditions in which the beloved tradition emerged and only back then suited completely—which it does not today. Many Jews have worked out a balance between old and new in order to retain the beloved tradition while adapting to the conditions and needs of modernity—and the State of Israel in the mode of its founding (not the way it has devolved today) is one example of that balancing act. For all those who are upset about the proposed Sabbath laws forced on everyone with regard to the opening of stores and rail transportation—what about the insinuation of an Orthodox ethos into the schools and army—or into the Ministry of Agriculture? How long do you think Israel will survive with that sort of obscurantist control? And as far as the Word of God is concerned—unlike Christianity or Islam, we have a contract! There is room for negotiation.
