It Was Hard, But On The “Upside”
– fewer non-Jewish babies were born. According to former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyah that’s one of the “positive” outcomes of his child welfare cuts.
“Two positive things happened,” he told a conference of haredi government officials in Nir Etzion this week. “Members of the haredi public seriously joined the workforce. And on the national level, the unexpected result was the demographic effect on the non-Jewish public, where there was a dramatic drop in the birth rate.”

There’s some good old fashioned prime ministerial anti-Arab type bigotry for ya.
That’s pretty shocking. It’s also indicative of how the Israeli’s feel about their subhuman countrymen. Shmazel, care to comment?
I hope Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs Jim Prentice isn’t reading this. It may suggest a whole new line of defense for Harpers Aboriginal non-policy.
Oi Vey.
Yikes. I was all set to defend this as an unintended consequence of a fiscally-conservative move. Then I read the whole article.
Double Yikes and “nevermind” on the defense.
