    I find it surreal how this article is reporting about a business based in an Israeli settlement in the Palestinian West Bank as if that's completely normal and isn't part of a horrible colonial occupation by any international standard.

       Israel’s ultra-Orthodox population is a significant and 
   growing market, making up about 11 percent of the 
   country’s 8.3 million people. The community is expected 
   to comprise about 18 percent of Israel’s population 
   within 15 years, according to government statistics.
    I just can't understand how this is happening. This is not how it -- meaning the progress of civilization -- was supposed to go.
