If the three big parties had jointly passed a bill, the Charedim would have been upset with all three, but would still be forced to join with one of them after the next election.<br /><br />The logical partner for Shas would still be Likud, and the only alternative would be for them to form a partnership with Kadima/Labour who would be equally responsible for the draft bill, or to stay out of the coalition.Michael Sedleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684514303911193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699890406163567974.post-5436148037771161152012-07-18T15:38:41.277+03:002012-07-18T15:38:41.277+03:00The only new "draft law" the Chareidim w...The only new "draft law" the Chareidim will accept is one that says that they are all exempt in perpetuity and that the Supreme Court has no authority to strike such a law down. Anything less will be a "full assault on Torah" and a rebirth of "the Czar's attempts to wipe out Judaism".<br />Bibi is smart but for a different reason. Right now he could have pushed through the proper draft law with the support of the other secular parties but think about it. Eventually there will be an election. Chances are once again Likud and either Labour or Kadima will finish closely in seat tally. And who will make the government? The Chareidi parties. Again.<br />Bibi doesn't need the Chareidim now but he just might in a year or two and he knows it.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571194550300367249noreply@blogger.com
