"When you're accustomed to privilege equality feels like oppression"

I feel like if they want to spit on people who believe differently from them, they should get out and fight for that right.

[drod]

They get all the benefits but don’t want to pay the price.

[cannacare]

They want everyone else to do their bidding and think they're slick

[ECKohns]

Everyone else is required to serve. It’s only fair.

[mm-ytsf]

they'll have to upgrade to super-mega-hyper-orthodox

[CJ_Sipe]

I’ll never understand how religion or religious organizations always gets a pass.

[Fgji]

If you talk the talk, gotta walk the walk.

[wasntme]

they should work and they should have to do the same others have to do.

[abvincent]

Why would the ultra orthodox not have to serve if everyone else has to? Absurd - sounds like right decision to me.

[denisehall]

They a fight with the Palestinians but they want others to do the actual fighting.It was very unfair.

[peppersprayyy]

Sounds like the rich class of America.. dictating favorable outcomes for themselves while others put themselves in harms way to protect them.

[moonchild]

That's how you know they never cared about the Jewish Faith.

[twilightgardenspresentatio]

Looks like the fighting is about to decrease as more valued members of society or forced to risk their mortality

[o.p.p.]

Ultra Orthodox was some BS to begin with

[operator]

having to fight their own battles? this is unprecedented...

[marciabueno]

I agree, these cowards are living a safe life and okay with women going in but they don’t want to? Grow up.

[tacmedic]

GOOD!!!! You can't complain about how you are treated and don't want to do anything about it claiming religious issues. You want more rights than all others....fight for them.

[davidzimmerman]

A lot of flat feet doctors notes are being written today

[lateefpou]

Speaking as a veteran they want all the benefits but none of the work or the sacrifice
