RT @borzou: Al Jazeera showing pro-Hamas rallies in Syria; Israel's attack is a gift to Bashar Assad, whether intended or not

Is their Parliament made up of 120 Rabbis? I don't know about its current use.

This building on Reuters. Is this the Knesset Building?

Yes. The Knesset (Hebrew: הַכְּנֶס&#146​2;ת [haˈkneset] ( listen); lit. the gathering[1] or assembly; Arabic: الكنيست‎ Al-Kinīsat) is the unicameral legislature of Israel, located in Givat Ram, Jerusalem.

Jewish religious courts

The Jewish religious courts, known as Rabbinic Courts, whose dayanim ("judges") are selected by a committee headed by the Minister of Justice, have jurisdiction regarding marital issues of Jews (especially divorce). Divorce of a Jewish couple can only be obtained at the Rabbinical Batei Din. However, if a petition for ancillary matrimonial reliefs, such as custody, support or equitable distribution of property is filed with the Civil Courts before a case for divorce is opened at the Batei Din, then all other marital issues may also be taken by Magistrate Courts sitting as Family Courts. Otherwise, if one spouse opens some sort of an action with the Batei Din, (including asking the couple for reconciliation), the Batei Din assume that all ancillary relief is aggregated into the main complaint, and the spouses may find themselves facing judicial deermination pursuant to Halakha (Jewish religious law), and not pursuant to the secular law. Thus, spouses may lose the equal protection and anti gender discrimination protections of the secular civil law.

The Supreme Rabbinic Court acts as the court of last resort for cases brought before the rabbinic courts.

Gaza City

that is an answer to a post earlier that i cant be botherd finding again to qoute butn anyway i was right still yes there is religious court process, optional or otherwise.

How does the IDF work.
All branches of the IDF answer to a single General Staff. The Chief of the General Staff is the only serving officer having the rank of Lieutenant General (Rav Aluf). He reports directly to the Defense Minister and indirectly to the Prime Minister of Israel and the cabinet. Chiefs of Staff are formally appointed by the cabinet, based on the Defense Minister's recommendation, for three years, but the government can vote to extend their service to four (and in rare occasions even five) years. The current chief of staff is Benny Gantz. He replaced Gabi Ashkenazi in 2011.
