how easy living there will be as the ultra Orthodox population grows? I've read that most techies and secularists live in the Tel Aviv area, whereas Orthodox live in Jerusalem and newer settlements. How long will secularists, Arab Israelis, and religious, non-Orthodox Jews be okay with their schism on issues like taxes, who is exempted from IDF service, assimilation of Jews in modern Christian nations, etc? And how will non-Israeli Jews feel about supporting Israel with the internal issues they have?
I digress.
