“WHY these people are creating problems when Israel has so many other pressing issues from outside Israel? If I was a Jewish citizen of Israel . . . “
Well, they are setting up rules for their little villages. They don’t see it as a “pressing problem.”
And this particular group (who was there before the modern state of Israel) does not recognize the Israeli government, so they don’t care. They are waiting for the Mosiach.

Regarding the dispute:
And the rules are, at least theoretically, voluntary -— as in, “akery shut down for Passover, or we pull your Kosher certification” (which would be a certification problem) -— but they are taking it a step farther -— with threats of boycotts, etc, to other kinds of stores.
Me, I am all for a free market and if they want to boycott a store because a woman wears short sleeves, that’s their problem.
So it is a bit exagerated by both sides.
Where the line is being crossed is alleged threats against people just walking down the street. That’s BS.
