Another 17 percent are religious Zionists ...

The third group consists of the vast majority of Israeli Jews, some 55 percent, who define themselves as "traditional." ...

You might not understand the nuance of the word "traditional."

I can assure you that I understand the meaning of "traditional".

Could it be that in Israel they have a different opinion about it to yours?

My above quoted source from Jerusalem, Israel, is written by Jewish authors. It isn't about Catholics or Catholism.

tra·di·tion·al
trəˈdiSHənl/
adjective
existing in or as part of a tradition; long-established.
"the traditional festivities of the church year"
synonyms: long-established, customary, time-honored, established, classic, accustomed, standard, regular, normal, conventional, usual, orthodox, habitual, set, fixed, routine, ritual.

Israel has a different opinion than mine. So do many other people. It really does not matter, does it? While you are focussing on these small points, it might be that the seeds of discontent are being sowed in the EU, based on yesterday's voting. Much of it might be that the three big EU countries are experiencing a backlash from the "marginal haves" in the EU?

Oz added that in his mind, perhaps the only difference between neo-Nazis around the world and perpetrators of hate crimes in Israel is that "our neo-Nazi groups enjoy the support of numerous nationalist or even racist legislators, as well as rabbis who give them what is in my view pseudo-religious justification."

Autopsy reveals Palestinian teen killed by live fire in Nakba Day clashes
Though the official results have not been compiled, sources say entry and exit wounds indicate that Nadim Nuwara was shot dead last month with a non-rubber-coated bullet.

An autopsy of Nadim Nuwara, a Palestinian youth who was shot dead during Nakba Day protests in the West Bank last month, was completed Wednesday, and the findings support claims that he was killed by live ammunition.

According to officials with knowledge of the autopsy, Nuwara’s body was in fairly good condition, so the entry and exit wounds could be clearly identified. The wounds indicate that Nuwara was shot with live ammunition, they say. But the official autopsy report has not yet be compiled. Two experts from the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv joined the team at the Palestinian Institute of Forensic Medicine in the West Bank town of Abu Dis for the autopsy. Two experts from the United States and Canada were also present.

Five big EU countries press Israel to delay settlement plans
Israel's Civil Administration to go ahead with only 381 of intended 1,800 homes in West Bank settlements; Israeli officials: Technical problems, not EU pressure, led us to delay plans.

Following pressure by Western European diplomats, the Civil Administration decided on Wednesday to delay the recently announced plans to move forward on construction of 1,800 settlement homes.

The only plans approved by the Civil Administration's High Planning Council concerned 381 housing units in Givat Ze'ev. Those involving construction in Ariel, Har Bracha, Alfei Menashe, Oranit and other settlements were put off, along with plans in the settlement outpost Al-Matan.

Planning council chairman Daniel Halimi said he received instructions for the delays shortly before the meeting, and a source who attended the session said, "Apparently the decision came from high up."

On Tuesday, British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould and French Ambassador to Israel Patrick Maisonnave told National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen that their countries wanted Israel to hold off on advancing plans for the 1,800 settlement homes, which had been frozen for many months.

Gould and Maisonnave told Cohen that Germany, Italy and Spain would be conveying the same message, which the Italian and Spanish ambassadors did to the Foreign Ministry later that day, while German Ambassador Andreas Michaelis weighed in with Cohen early on Wednesday.

Israel begins razing Bedouin village of Al-Arakib - for 50th time
Struggle with the state over land ownership has been ongoing since 1998

Israel Police forces and Israel Land Authority workers began demolishing structures in the unrecognized Bedouin village of Al-Arakib in the northern Negev, on Thursday morning. This is the 50th time the village has been razed in the last decade and a half.

The demolition of some 20 structures erected in the village's cemetery began shortly after the Ramle Magistrate's Court rejected an appeal by residents against their expulsion from the village.

Many residents of the village, which has been evacuated numerous times in the past, took refuge in the local mosque, itself built inside the cemetery. The State Prosecutor's Office denied that the structures were in the cemetery proper, saying they were just outside it.

Al-Arakib residents have been waging a lengthy legal battle ever since the village was first demolished in 2010. Notices were posted May 21 informing the villagers of the state's intention to demolish the structures and giving them 21 days to evacuate. Those 21 days expired on Thursday morning.

The villagers maintain that they own the bank on which the village is built and were forcible evicted from their land by the Israel Defense Forces in 1950.

The state argues that the land was taken over by the state in the early 1950s because it had been abandoned and that the attempts to settle it that began in 1998 were illegal. Israeli courts have consistently upheld the state's position.

The Al-Arakib residents continued to erect structures on the site, despite the court rulings. The village was demolished for the 49th time in April 2013.

It is silly to think that somehow the Pals retain control of the land beyond the cemetery. Interestingly, the Pals paved over Jewish cemeteries in the WB before the '67 War without pause or regret.

The Pals should recognize the right of Israel to exist, sit down with Israel's leadership, and come to a reasonable settlement.

The Bedouin tribes migrated to and from many parts of the Middle East. That hardly gave them title to the lands they passed through.

Wow, I passed through much of Washington, DC. I'm delighted to learn that such travel gave me title to much of the city.
