Definition of Freier

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
No Israeli wants to be seen as being a freier. It is part of the DNA of Israelis. 
A freier is commonly defined as a sucker. The person who does everything right and loses out because of it.
Here is the perfect example, or the perfect definition, of a freier.
A city councilman from Elad sent a letter to the Ministry of Health and to the Corona Czar Roni Gamzu. 
the councilman in question is the representative of the local Dati Leumi community, which is a minority in the mostly Haredi town of Elad.
Mr Badlov writes that he understands there is a deal in the works by which the schools in the Haredi sector will be granted permission to open up in exchange for cooperation with local lockdowns of Haredi cities and neighborhoods after the full national lockdown is lifted.
That being the case, Mr Badlov writes, it is unconscionable that in our city the schools of the Haredi sector will be open and operational while our schools will be shut down as part of the local lockdown. And, it is unconscionable that we who followed all the rules carefully and shut the schools when ordered to a week before Rosh Hashana will now be punished with keeping the schools closed because of a local lockdown when the Haredi schools are allowed to be open.

And there you have it. If you never really understood what a freier is, now you know. This is the definition of a freier, and this is what no Israeli wants to be. Follow all the rules strictly and play along with no argument and then the ones who did not win and you lose.
