Have you been to Israel lately? I have. Putting aside the Arab-Israeli conflict, just looking at internal social issues, education, politics... it's the ultra-o

  The use of the term "Ultra-Orthodox" is again problematic, it's not used correctly, it should be used to describe the "Haredi" Jews which aren't really controlling anything, in fact I would go as far as say that even "Haredi" aren't a good fit for the "Ultra-Orthodox" moniker, as there are more hardcore groups than they are including those who want nothing to do with the state of Israel as they believe that the state of Israel cannot be established until the messiah comes the dead have risen and all that fun end of days stuff happens. And when people use that term to describe the "settlers" that's even beyond, they are nationalist not ultra-orthodox.
