Why do Orthodox Jews in Israel have all the privileges and the other branches have to go through them to get what they want?

The question does not reflect reality. In fact, Israel has:
-- nightclubs
-- non-kosher restaurants
-- non-kosher meats and grocery items for sale
-- immodest women's clothing
-- strip clubs
-- shops, markets, or businesses that operate on Saturday
-- school curricula without religious subjects
Israeli citizens are free to practice their religion as they like it, including Jews. Israel's "week end" comprises Friday and Saturday, in deference to both the Muslim and Jewish sabbaths. Israel is a predominantly secular country, with no officially designated, state religion.
