Tel-Chai Nation

That's a decidedly valid question I've wondered even before I read this article:

One of the big concerns of the largely “secular” Israelis protesting week after week in Tel Aviv is that Israel will be transformed into a religious state based on Halacha (Jewish religious law), not unlike the way Iran is today governed by a particular brand of Islamic Sharia Law.

But legislation by one party or another is highly unlikely to bring about such a scenario under present circumstances.

The real “threat” (for those who see it as a threat) is to be found in the rapid growth rate of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish (Haredi) population in Israel.

Here's the thing: many leftists seem almost entirely uninterested in boosting their own birthrate, preferring instead to obsess themselves with stuff that alienates many Haredis, like LGBT ideology. (Of course, let's not forget that the kind of stringencies many of the most insular Haredi clans go by, like refusing to view a woman's image or listen to them sing, have turned lot of their subejects homosexual, which makes them little better than said secularists.) And that approach merely leads to only so much of a drop in birthrates for said leftists. There's also the decline of heterosexual marriage to consider. Nor do any of these leftists make a convincing case for Haredis to abandon their lifestyle. So how do they expect to improve society? Something tells me they're not really interested, and as noted at the article's end:

Ironically, it is secular society’s exaggerated focus on individual freedom and personal identity that is likely to facilitate the thing they fear most, a religious state governed by a far more cohesive and disciplined ultra-Orthodox community.

Yes, if it were to happen, it'd be the left's fault. Yet as I've said before, something tells me this makes little difference to many leftists, and they might actually be fine with it. Mainly because I recall viewing a news interview with a right-wing politician who spoke of leftist women who supposedly find Haredi dress/obsession with modest wear reprehensible, yet they have no qualms in any way about wearing burkas and such if they go to an Islamic-led country, which could include the UAE and even Bahrain. No wonder putting the word secular in quote-unquote makes so much sense. It's all just hypocrisy for the sake of making issues, much like many Haredi extremists do.
