haaretz.comThe article paints Israeli monarchism as little more than a fad. It's not an unbiased portrait, but I think they're probably right. If there was serious support for restoring the House of David among the ultra-Orthodox, I would take them more seriously.

Obviously yes, but barring the truth for a second as Jews don’t accept it I’m curious about who on earth claims to be the proper successor to David for the throne of Israel.

Except the Davidic line runs through Joseph, not Mary.

I think Israel is one of those few places I'd pass on a monarchy. The history of jewish kingship...is sketchy and of annoyance for the powers that surround them.

Ironic given that Jordan is a monarchy.

I cannot read the article, anyway
