In Israel, it refers mainly to the imposition of Orthodox Jewish norms, through legislation or other means, which are often interpreted as religious coercion. 
A very common example of religious coercion in Israel is the legislation against public transportation on Saturdays. This harms many people who want to get from one place to another On Saturdays and don't have the ability to ride in a car or pay for a taxi (including me). I wouldn't be so angry if the reason was justified, but it's not. It's wrong to stop people's lives only because it bothers specific people.
There are other examples of religious coercion in Israel, but this example is my main example, because that's the problem that bothers me the most, and mainly because of it I would like to see this problem changed.]]> 2019-01-01 18:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lielmaor123/1ushcnjgobvo/wish/316973323 lielmaor123 https://padlet.com/lielmaor123/1ushcnjgobvo/wish/316974463 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VwrlRa1KIs

Israel is a Jewish state, and it has traditions. Saturday is a holy day for Jews. It's a day of rest and sanctity, and of course not day to ride and desecrate the Sabbath.
The religious population is a very large percentage of the population of Israel, and the desecration of the Sabbath harms their feelings.
It's important to respect this population and to respect this Jewish tradition. Even only for one day a week.
After all, we all live in a Jewish state.]]> 2019-01-02 18:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lielmaor123/1ushcnjgobvo/wish/317097353 lielmaor123 https://padlet.com/lielmaor123/1ushcnjgobvo/wish/317101867 After all, it's impossible to argue with people's opinions or change their faiths, but perhaps it's possible to suggest possible solutions so that there won't be one side that will suffer.
In my opinion, mayors need to arrange votes for or against public transportation on Saturdays in the main cities in Israel, and according to the results, to decide that maybe only some of the lines will work on Saturdays, or even all of them, if people decided so.
It's also possible to organize special lines that drive to central places (for example, the beach) that will work on Saturdays and pass through central places in many cities.
It's not impossible to change this problem. So people can at least try.
