Tragic

Israel is losing its ability to protect the right of secular jews to work on Saturday if they want to.


Israel seems to be letting Israel's orthodox jews dictate to companies that they need to discriminate against jews who are not orthodox for one day per week and not let them work.


Halacha = Shariah.

I'm sure a lawsuit would knock it down though.

That is not true. From wikipedia, "One of the last remaining blue laws in the United States that covers virtually all selling is found in Bergen County. It has produced the ironic situation that one of the largest and most popular commercial shopping cores of the New York metropolitan area[33] is almost completely closed on Sunday (grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations, and restaurants are among the few businesses allowed to operate).
