The definitio...It's a simple marketing failure. The definition of marketing is to supply the needs of the consumer and UTJ does not. There is no room for tzadikkim nistarim in politics. The people want to see their leaders active, in the headlines, and in the field. Politics is as much work as it is show because it is very important for the people to see that you are doing something. This builds confidence in the political system and is not merely showing off.<br /><br />Shas leaders become ministers and ministers get more airtime. UTJ members of Knesset are not allowed to be ministers (might show some legitimacy for the Zionists, rachmana leitzlan) so they merely seem like the poodles - assistant ministers. The people who currently vote for UTJ are automatic voters, but the people who could vote for UTJ (isn't there a growing number of Haredim?) don't because they see UTJ not 'doing anything.'<br />JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-66329845975656308922012-11-14T15:08:31.764+02:002012-11-14T15:08:31.764+02:00I find this amusing juxtaposed to the article in H...I find this amusing juxtaposed to the article in Hebrew press this week that Litzman wanted to replace his Audi A6 (that was in an accident) with a luxury BMW.

Gafne also expect us to believe that because a group of about 20-30 leaders that may have some kids in ashkenzi schools, that it gives the hundreds of ashkenazi schools permission to discriminate and deny everyone else. <br /><br />In reality, possibly the only reason they don't reject the Shas' leader's daughters, is because they are scared of the political clout that Shas holds. Personally, I know of some higher ups daughters that were treated wrongly AFTER they were accepted to the schools.Yehudahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371803818586408694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-58152718686888055262012-11-14T13:42:21.506+02:002012-11-14T13:42:21.506+02:00It sounds like a very desirable school.

Is Gafni claiming that there can be no spaces for the hamon am once the leaders get their kids in. If not, is there a special quota for sfardim such that there can be no space for ordinary kids, once the leaders get theirs. Yerachmiel Lopinhttp://frumfollies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
