Ravitz: I’ll Support Olmert if he Funds SchoolsThe religious parties have institutions to support, and they make decisions in accordance, not according to what's best for the country or the People of Israel.
(IsraelNN.com) MK Avraham Ravitz (UTJ) met Thursday with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who is trying to enlist his support and that of MK Moshe Gafni (UTJ) for the current Kadima-led coalition. If Ravitz and Gafni were to join the coalition, it would retain a Knesset majority even if the Labor party were to leave.
Ravitz said he and Gafni would consider supporting Olmert if Olmert began to fulfill earlier promises, primarily by supporting government funding of hareidi-religious schools. Ravitz also asked that Olmert fund school repairs and school buses. When asked about the Winograd Commission’s recent report, which blamed Olmert for many failures in the Second Lebanon War, Ravitz explained that “the Winograd report is not the only or the primary issue that we take into consideration.”
I agree that: “the Winograd report is not the only or the primary issue that we take into consideration.” But I don't like political parties which make their decisions according to what's best for their party and not what's best for the entire country.

they have no commitment to israel as a jewish state
they treat it as any other foreign country, where their chief goal is to attain funding and when it collapses, they can move on someplace else
sad because they've made no commitment to israel... only a commitment to themselves
like all small parties, they are sectoral and are primarily concerned about the needs of their own community, despite whatever other issues might nationally be more important. That is why i do not vote for small parties.
sk, I agree
rafi g, small parties usually have a stronger ideology, which I like. I just wish they were bigger.
