ONE MILLION Haredim planning to march against a Torah command!

Soo it is an economic investment.

Okay, but it is an investment that statistically pays off. Its like buying shares in stocks. Not smart to only buy 1 or 2 or 10 stocks, better to buy many in bundles (like Mutual funds) because over time they will pay off. The argument can be made the same here.Although when looking at specifics their is much discussion that can be spoken and thought through about (if for example paying for any education or just specific education programs is the way to go- like nursing, specific in demand sciences etc.)
With Haredim you can make a similar argument, true, but wouldn't we want the Torah to be free from governmental influences? I'm not saying NOT to support Torah institutions. Actually the opposite, but their definitely are problems with the current system on many levels.
By the way I am opposed to many of the governmental waste in the BILLIONS of dollars with stupidity such as funding failed kibbutzim programs and business ventures, also in soo called "arts", media and other such "social" non-sense, but really parts of government supporting their own institutions and friends.
The One and Only Mo:
I don't know what's going to end up happening in the end; what I do know is that Hashem is in charge.
Khan Krum:
Well Jews in that land, "settlements", are not foreigners, that is their land. There is no "West Bank" or "Gaza", only Judæa and Samaria and that has been promise to Jews and legally too it is legitimate Jewish land. So why don't Arabs go back to the huge masses of undeveloped desert they love yet never develop except to rape them for oil that they can enslave the world?

Right, but I think you got the wrong message board.
