the upsetting cost of kashrut

Ilan Shiloah, an Israeli businessman, is upset about the report regarding the cost of food and the affect of kashrut on the prices.

Shiloah responded to the report saying that the religious are "slaughtering us with the cost of kashrut that they use to fund the parasites".
source: Twitter

parasites? in an industry where they actually go to work and cannot be accused of being parasites? Shiloah should be happy that the religious (Haredi specifically) are working and earning an honest days wage. He can be upset about the cost of kashrut, but the insult is misplaced.

  1. This is just another way of chipping away at Torah in EY. They are after kashrut, Shabbat, etc. and everything that is holy and dear to the Jewish people. One has to be cloistered away in a cave not to catch on to this obvious agenda.

  2. It's the broken-window fallacy. We only need Charedim working in Kashrut because Charedim won't eat food that doesn't have any. The more "strict" the Hechsher, the stronger the application of the fallacy, as it is not something society wants or needs for itself.
