The Shas party?

I guess black lives matters speaks for you, then, since you think the Shas party is a fair representation of Israelis.

Shas is a radical political group of welfare pigs from Iran and various other Islamic dumps who hate everyone but themselves, including other Jewish people, but demand we work and pay for them to sit on their rear ends.

Despite being a fringe party (I think they are Number 7 — the equivalent of the USA Green Party), they have oversized political clout lately in the parliamentary system resulting in a hung parliament.

One or two seats makes the difference, just like the US Senate.

They flip to whatever side promises them the most money.

But, hey, keep digging. There are all sorts of weird people out there.

The Shas party?

Notice you didn't comment on the fact that he was literally a religious leader in charge--as recognized by Israeli--NOT "religious," but secular-law, and given authority over Jewish religion, immigration, conversion, etc., into the state of Israel:

"The Chief Rabbinate of Israel (Hebrew: הרבנות הראשית לישראל‬, Ha-Rabanut Ha-Rashit Li-Yisra'el) is recognized by law[1] as the supreme rabbinic and spiritual authority for Judaism in Israel.

The Chief Rabbinate Council assists the two chief rabbis, who alternate in its presidency. It has legal and administrative authority to organize religious arrangements for Israel's Jews. It also responds to halakhic questions submitted by Jewish public bodies in the Diaspora. The Council sets, guides and supervises agencies within its authority.

The Chief Rabbinate of Israel consists of two Chief Rabbis: an Ashkenazi rabbi and a Sephardi rabbi, also known as the Rishon leZion. The Chief Rabbis are elected for 10 year terms. The present Sephardi Chief Rabbi is Yitzhak Yosef and the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi is David Lau, both of whom commenced their terms in 2013.[2]

The Rabbinate has jurisdiction over many aspects of Jewish life in Israel. Its jurisdiction includes personal status issues, such as Jewish marriages and Jewish divorce, as well as Jewish burials, conversion to Judaism, kosher laws and kosher certification, Jewish immigrants to Israel (olim), supervision of Jewish holy sites, working with various ritual baths (mikvaot) and yeshivas, and overseeing Rabbinical courts in Israel.

The Rabbinical courts are part of Israel's judicial system, and are managed by the Ministry of Religious Services. The courts have exclusive jurisdiction over marriage and divorce of Jews and have parallel competence with district courts in matters of personal status, alimony, child support, custody, and inheritance. Religious court verdicts are implemented and enforced—as for the civil court system—by the police, bailiff's office, and other agencies.[3]"

This is like saying, "we literally put this crazy guy in charge of our religion, but he's actually some kind of non-Jewish Iranian guy in charge of Jewish immigration policies."
