Y’all had 3 millennia to study the Torah, time to get a job.

[eclipse-shqmZmOtcua]

The Ultra-Orthodox men should NEVER have been exempted in the 1st place!

[adammsa]

if Benjamin Mileikowsky wants to continue this conflict, then let his kids be in the front line.

Those flight back to JFK just got filled up

"Brooklyn... Here we go!"
LOL

[bokchoiman]

"we want you to defend us but don't want to defend ourselves"

[AlisonCasilli]

So they want someone else to fight for their rights that they are not willing to fight for themselves? Nah that ain't how it works, draft them.

[michaelfranklin]

This will flush Netanyahu's governing coalition down the drain.

[daniellarusso]

Israel's support for the offensive campaign just plummeted, lol.
Amazing how opinions shift once your own neck becomes fair game. :)

[glynnborders]

Fair is fair. Isreali women get drafted, why not their men?

[Koolneen]

Excellent. Their lives are no more precious than the ones who do all the work of a military!!

Saving Private Rabbi movie 🍿🎥 coming soon 😂

[jaylm]

The people that want the war the most don't need to fight.... Weird it's a big deal they have to fight the war they want now but are angry

[trellog]

Yea those dudes are NOT gonna be cool with that 🤣🤣🤣

[exploremoreoutdoors]

Their lives are apparently more precious than anyone else on earth, so they don't even have to fight for their own country. Among many other privileges.

I was simply blown away when I found out about this exemption to the Israeli draft. Leaving it to the "seculars" to defend your life because you're too busy reading about your religion--which is at the center of regional animosity and conflict--seems pretty bogus to this person with no horse in the race. If anything, these dudes (they're all men, apparently) should be at the front lines as it's their very "right" that's being defended, for cryin' out loud. And if it helps bring down Netanyahu, so much the better! Draft them and their grandmothers if it'll help expedite that.

[vascodesena]

No "Special Orthodox Units" either, integrated, let them feel what they say they believe... among others, not excluded for an ideology-- a purported privilege not met with deeds-- "the same as the rest of them...", they aren't invalids.

[AtheistAgainstChristianTerror]

The ultra holy should never be excluded from military service

[rainbowdash]

They need more men because their men are dying. I wonder how much they are not disclosing
