| Thousands of haredim to begin receiving draft notices next week |
| 2024-07-17 |
| [IsraelNationalNews] The IDF announced that this coming Sunday, July 21st, 2024, the process of issuing initial summons orders for the first call-up and for the assessment and evaluation procedures ahead of the upcoming recruitment cycle, which begins in July, will commence. ...About 3,000 haredim are expected to receive their summons orders beginning next week. The move to draft more haredim into the IDF follows the Supreme Court ruling that haredi yeshiva students can no longer receive blanket exemptions from military service while other sectors of Israeli society face mandatory military service and that such a policy violates the principle of equality. Heredim (Ultra-orthodox) are actually sects run by hereditary rulers - who control every aspect of life of their subjects because the provide livelihood by trading votes for public money. And the main reason they object to draft is that very few of their subjects will return to the sect after service. |

| #3 there are currently several thousand Haredim serving in the IDF I agree with Grom that there are some abusive leaders in the Haredi world Also many of the Haredi claim to be studying in Yeshiva but don't spend much time doing that. |

| #2 They are NOT conscientious objectors. They claim that their religious studies are MORE important. |
