the key word in the original post is "orthodox"

Which the OP skirts over and I wonder why,
I'll be generous and include the "ultra-orthodox" also, yet it begs questions of the original poster, the first is why bother with this non-story if the OP is a knowledgable as he claims.

Yes, there have been complaints raised by some "Orthodox Jewish Lawmakers", yet you leave out the deafening silence of the majority as you post this "story" without any contextual comment.

What you don't comment on is the majority of the jewish faith who couldn't care less : the Reconstructionists, the Flexidox, the Conservative, the Reform and the Humanistic. technically I should also include the ultra orthodox in my list, but as I said I am being generous

Your argument is tantamount to saying that the christians who picketted cinemas during the screenings of, for instance, The Last Temptation Of Christ were the majority voice and spoke for the whole of the population of the Christian countries.

That is patently false.

I also notice you try to have your cake and eat it to, on one hand you attack orthodox jews for this, on the other hand you attack "zionist jews", as though the two are the same, attack them for different things but collect them together under the banner "Jews" when you attack policy in the Middle East. Yet if you are as well versed as you claim to be, then you must know that all Orthodoxies of Judaism oppose Zionism.
