Your question about Israel no.4 - Page 84

ZOHAR · January 19th, 2009, 08:17 PM

yeah

Jerusalem/Bnei Brak have high per cent of Ashkenazim but still very religious cities

Kappa21 · January 19th, 2009, 08:18 PM

There is some moshavim with like 5,000 people that have only ashkenazi people

ZOHAR · January 19th, 2009, 08:24 PM

yeah kibutzim and moshavim are mostly ashkenazim

Is Mel Gibson popular in Israel?

Kappa21 · January 25th, 2009, 06:16 PM

no?:S
What kinda questions are those....

Is the 3 Pasha's popular in Armenia?

robo_boss · January 25th, 2009, 07:17 PM

I didnt ask if Hitler was popular in Israel. Mel Gibson is just an actor and a movie director.

The Knowledgeable · January 25th, 2009, 07:21 PM

No, he's not, thanks to the Passion of Christ. Either that or because his films simply suck.

robo_boss · January 25th, 2009, 07:23 PM

I find his movies boring , but he made tons of money on the Passion of the Christ. I only like him as the actor.

The Knowledgeable · January 25th, 2009, 07:35 PM

That's probably the main reason why he made the Passion of the Christ so provocative.

NorthPole · January 26th, 2009, 04:44 PM

I've heard he made it b/c he wanted make it this way for long long years. It was just form of expressing his own views on the matter (he shares his father's view on Jews as "murderers of G-d" etc.).
Maybe he decided that "freedom of expression" will allow him to do that this way and "reversed" political correctness (stating you cannot criticize someone's view b/c it would "violate" freedom of expression) is good as much as the original political correctness was

And yes, money is always on the top at the end. There are many ppl wanting to see tortured half-naked man. In Poland there were even group showings organized by schools for pupils ("Polish edition" of Christianity sucks

).

More fascinating questions!

Would I be able to live a comfortable life in Israel if I don't speak Hebrew? Furthermore, does Israel encourage immigrants to be part of a melting-pot or is the approach more about cultural diversity? It seems to me that Israeli society likes to culturally assimilate newcomers, eh?

The Knowledgeable · January 30th, 2009, 08:37 PM

Israelis are obsessed with English, you can get along speaking only English very well. An acquaintance of mine from the States complained that too little unofficial signs provide an English translation, so you may want to take that into consideration. As for your second question, Israel probably prefers the melting pot approach.

Gorgon · January 30th, 2009, 09:09 PM

Interesting. Incidentally, I remember reading a blog a few years ago about some girl living in Israel who had a friend with small children in Israel. Her friend made a point of trying to speak only English to the kids so they'd be fluent in English, but she couldn't keep it up. For example, she'd say some words in Hebrew (i.e. sandwich), because they're easier to remember. It must be different when you have small children who want to "fit in," eh?

Is there a lot of neo-nazis in Israel? Were they all born in the former Soviet Union? Do they have Jewish ancestry?

What is their problem? Are they just a bunch of stupid kids who's looking to get attention?

yuvaly1 · February 10th, 2009, 12:33 AM

yup

robo_boss · February 10th, 2009, 06:11 AM

Was i talking to you?

I do · February 10th, 2009, 10:41 AM

most of them comes from broken homes and can't realy make a life of their own, so they turn onto other groups that can take them, such as the Neo-Natzi underground groups.

Robi_damian · February 10th, 2009, 10:36 PM

Question: How is Israel coping with excessive population density? As in, how do you (as inhabitants of Israel) see your country in 2050? I read some projections that by this time:
1. Israel will have something like 15.000.000 people on something like 22.000 sq. km. (of which the Southern half is sparsely populated anyway).
2. Maybe the sea level will be 1 meter higher, that might take some bits of the already narrow central part of Israel and bring salinity to some aquifiers.
3. The Palestinian state (let's hope one will finally be carved up say 2015) will likely also have some 10.000.000 people meaning nearly urban density levels.

I know Israel is maybe the most resourceful country on the face of the Earth so I am quite curious if some solutions to lack of water, agricultural and living space are being thought through.

10-x for an eventual answer.
