Israeli students have had it. Thousands of them have hit the streets to protest continuing government stipends for yeshiva students, money dispensed even in the face of a recent High Court of Justice ruling that the stipends are discriminatory. As Haaretz writes:
[The stipend] is bad news for anyone who values equality and the rule of law… [The ongoing financial support] sends the message to university and college students, who do not receive benefits of which the income allowances are only a part, that Israel prefers poverty and backwardness to enlightenment and contributing to society.
The student government president at Hebrew University succinctly explains why so many university students are protesting: “We want to stop this disgusting law.”
