    My understanding is that there are some interesting demographic effects at play in Israel - their percentage of heavily religious population has been increasing and is therefore getting more and more political control.

    The ultra-orthadox (I think this is the term) Jews are also exempt from military service I believe.

    This is/could lead to increased internal instability in the coming years/decades.

      The CIA should reverse these trends and push liberal internationalism. Which is supposed to be their speciality by now

      We can’t have a nuclear armed state run by religious zealots in the middle east. Especially one that we are seemingly rapidly losing control over
