  Or stated more practically, somewhere around half of Haredi men are given handouts by the state to do no productive work.

    Israel is a lifeboat not an office.

      Well the boat won't be able to go anywhere if an increasing number of the occupants refuse paddle. Also, gentle reminder that more Jews live in the US than in Israel.

    I mean I'm not a huge fan of Israel due to their history, but to say that the religious scholar class in Israel does no productive work is strange. Just because they don't make anything you can sell for a profit, doesn't mean they don't add very real value to people's lives
