Israeli attorney-general orders recruitment of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews following court ruling
2024-06-27
[NEWARAB] Israel’s Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, has ordered the recruitment of 3,000 students from Jewish yeshiva religious schools to the Israeli army, following a unanimous ruling from the country’s top court on Tuesday that ultra-Orthodox Jewish men must serve in the military.

The ruling came as Israel’s brutal war on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
continues for a ninth month amid increasing talk of a potential new war with Hezbollah in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
Baharav-Miara said that 3,000 was only a preliminary number "which does not fully reflect the army's current needs nor advance the sharing of the burden equally".

She ordered defence chiefs to draw up a plan to increase the number and "take the necessary steps to maximize recruitment potential", the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.

Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men have long had a de facto exemption from military service in Israel, but there is no legal basis for this and the Supreme Court in its ruling said that the state was carrying out "invalid selective enforcement" of the country’s conscription laws.

The Supreme Court’s ruling could potentially present a problem for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose governing coalition includes ultra-Orthodox and far-right religious parties.

Reacting to the ruling, Aryeh Deri, the head of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party said that the Torah is Israel’s "secret weapon against all enemies" and "no power in the world" can stop Jews from studying it.

#3  This is a war for Israel's survival. Every able bodied person should understand that and serve. There shouldn't be a religious caste that is exempt because they are more religious than most of the rest of the country.

#1  Evading national service in the Jewish state is the opposite of authentic Judaism

IMO: rote memorisation is NOT scholarship.
