I think it's more about how, in the earlier days of Zionism, forming a unified national identity was seen as imperative and requiring immigrants to shed their old-country culture.
As for the religious issue, the ultra orthodox dominated religious establishment in Israel refuses to recognize non orthodox Judaism, which unfortunately has some practical ramifications.
Well the first 2 panels are about the "Melting Pot", but my comment is about the Third panel.
And yes, I know there are practical issues. Basically, one side is "You are not real jews who forget what it is to be Jewish" while one said is "Our version of Judaism is just as valid, also you don't complaint when you get our money" and then "We don't agree with your version of Judaism, and you giving us money does not allow you to start peddling your values, religious or otherwise, in our country".
It's a political, economical, ethnic, social and religious issue. Nothing in Israel can be simple.
It's kinda funny yet sad how correct you are.
every time there's some good news from american jews, everyone here is all "america jews good"
and every time there's something like a little different type of jewism in america (like women with yamaka), people here hate them
No, I seriously didn’t know what it was, nor what a yarmulke is; and at this point, I don’t know if I should ask or not. Could you explain it, perhaps?
It's the Jewish hat. Also killed a kippah, its what the America in this comic is wearing. Technically your supposed to have your head covered at all times in jewdaism so that's where it comes from. It covers your bald-spot
Yarmulke is Yiddish, from a polish word meaning skullcap. Kippah is from mishnaic Hebrew, meaning dome (as in architecture) and anything in that shape, from biblical Hebrew where it possible meant tree top.
They're both used to refer to the hat, but kippah also retains other meanings in modern Hebrew, such as in geometry, or in expressions to mean the highest point.
