Although only the answer of a health minister is that of an ultra-orthodox Jew, Israel has not generated controversy. In fact, the politician in charge of the health of the population is a member of a Hasidist community, one of the most reactionary communities of the Jews.
According to Netta Ahituv in the Haaretz newspaper, is it logical to leave the Ministry of Health in the hands of such a person to deal with the biggest crisis Israel has ever experienced? The Agudat Yisrael party is the main representative of ultra-Orthodox Judaism.
Even in times of crisis, religion overrides other human laws. As a sign of this, over a third of Israeli coronavirus infected patients have visited a synagogue over the past weekend.
Also in Ukraine the Orthodox have found the cure
"Same-sex marriages are the main source of the coronavirus," the Patriarch of Honor of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine said in an interview.
The Honorary Patriarch of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Filaret, has stated that "same-sex marriages are the first and leading cause of the coronavirus". Filaret is a figure that has been supported by the EU and the US in the past. pic.twitter.com/i5ID7kTtTj
