Just yesterday I posted a story how the Chareidie Yated told its readers not to participate in the pro-government protests.
So how did that work out?
Chareidim by in large dance on both weddings, they do not openly take any sides because they aren't sure who will be in power, and they are afraid that if they take sides then they will lose should the opposing side win. So even though they may scream and bark against Lapid, for example, they will never publicly humiliate him, even though they oppose his values, because come tomorrow he may be in power. Chareidim have no scruples and are a bunch of cowards , so when the Dati Leumi Rabbanim asked their flock to come out and protest to back the government, the Chareidim stayed home cowering in their homes. Just a few months ago Gafni, the head of Degel Ha'Torah, invited the anti-Torah Michali, to his daughter's wedding and the "machsheifah" danced with the kallah on the most important day of her life. This is while Michali was fighting CHareidim in the Knesset. Chareidim are basically a bunch of "chanfeners" and there in no bottom low enough for them to go, but the leftists are not falling for it.
And it backfired, the leftist don't care which side chareidim take, they hate them for who they are. The fact that Charedim stayed home and refused to participate in the protests of the right, meant absolutely zero, and now despite the burnt Bnei-brak Chulent and free water that they distribute to the protesters, the left will start openly fighting with the "neutral" chareidim. You cannot appease a tiger, just because you threw a slab of meat at him doesn't mean he won't come to devour you the first chance he gets.
Like every Motzei Shabbos in recent months, another left-wing protest against the Netanyahu government took place on Motzei Shabbos in Tel Aviv.
At the protest, the organizers announced another protest on Thursday – this time, against Chareidim and their plans for a new Chareidi draft law.
The protest will be called “National Equality Day – because there is no democracy without equality.”
The organizers stated: “The days when one side serves the state and also finances the yeshivos while trying to establish a halachic dictatorship here – are over.”
“On National Equality Day we will embark on dozens of protest actions throughout the country, with protests from the Goma intersection [in northern Israel] to Eilat. On this day, we will officially inform the Chareidi leadership – it’s over.”
Kikar H’Shabbat reporter Yishai Cohen responded to the report by stating: “From the first moment, it was clear that the leaders of the protest again the judicial reform would turn it into a war against Chareidim…It didn’t work for them with the protest in Bnei Brak. Now they’re switching to [a protest] against the draft law.”
“Don’t worry. Even if the judicial reform doesn’t pass and the draft law gets shelved, they’ll find another reason to protest.”

The Chareidi parties are, like their leaders, a couple of generations behind. Once upon a time they were correct - both Labour and Likud would get 35-40 seats and they would need a couple of parties to put them over the edge so the Chareidi parties could negotiate with both - give us money, we'll vote for you.
But the situation has changed - while Likud still dominates on the right, getting its 30-35 seats, Labour has imploded and the left is a cluster of parties, all of whom hate the Chareidim and will, on principle, never sit with them in government.
As a result, the Chareidim need Likud way more than Likud needs them right now.
