Here is a similar case: [Ultra-Orthodox Jews delay El Al flight, refusing to sit near women. El Al passengers heading to Israel to celebrate the Jewish new year were delayed leaving New York on the eve of Rosh Hashanah when ultra-Orthodox passengers refused to sit near women](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/09/26/ultra-orthodox-jews-delay-el-al-flight-refusing-to-sit-near-women/).:smack: This have happened several times. ---

Just because they believe regressive, stupid bullshit doesn’t mean they get to have their way. Because getting security to carry people off the plane would take even longer. Shit like this is one reason I no longer fly El Al if I can help it. ---

Look. Israel. We know Haredim’s your uncle, and you feel like you’re obliged to let him live with you until he can rent again, but he’s just using you. You’re doing yourself a disservice by letting him lounge around the place drinking all your beer and hurling abuse at the neighbours. It’s time to tell him he needs to get his act together and stop leeching off of his family. ---

Yeah, because getting religious fundamentalists to understand that they’re living in the 21st Century is just that easy. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > Keeping fundies from having undue influence so should be a priority for people who want to live in the 21st century. You’re preaching to the choir here. I think that the Haredim are a bigger threat to Israel than the Palestinians, and my vote in March will reflect this. ---
