Are the volunteers also from all these demographics?
Yes

Quote from: United Hatzala Wikipedia
United Hatzalah's volunteer base in 2018 is approximately 60% Jewish Religious, 30% Jewish Secular and 10% Minorities (Muslim, Christian and Druze)

MDA is the official ambulance service of Israel. Ichud is a private run, volunteer service. Like Hatzala, Ichud members can have full time jobs in other sectors. Because of this, the response time for Ichud is faster then MDA. As it became a competition to MDA, there has been much politics between the two organisations. However, in recent years tensions have somewhat calmed and they have made some agreements. There are still some strange rules in place due to this. If one wants a Ichud ambulance, they first have to call MDA first.

However, one can cancel the MDA ambulance and then the Ichud one will come. This can make quite a big difference as Ichud's response is quicker and they don't charge for their services unlike MDA who do (sometimes one can get back the money from Bituach Leumi - depending on what it was for).

Nothing like Israeli beuracracy ;D
So instead of opening one large grocery they opened many small half-stocked groceries to cater to more people using the same concept?

They planned to open one large grocery but due to bureaucracy it doesn't sell potatoes.

Is the "Stratego" board game no longer in circulation? The prices on Amazon and Walmart are ridiculous, in the $80 to $120 range.

If you actually want to buy one they are going for between $25 and $35 on ebay (Brand new). If you want to know if they have been discontinued then I don't know.

So instead of saying we came up with this grand idea of fly cars, they adopted an idea on a national lever in a state which happens to be the state of Israel (where if anything happens to anyone it's very likely to be a yid frum or not)

I'm not minimizing the credibility of this organization but it's not his original idea he is a copy cat on a broader level

I think to be dan lecaf zevchus he came up with an original idea which was lets make a nation ambulance service with a even faster response time. It just happens that someone else thought of this concept to solve a similar problem. So in a way it's still his idea.
