‘Carry the burden’: Anger grows in Israel over military exemption for ultra-Orthodox

42 comments

1. Israel is losing soldiers to Hamas at an alarming rate. Israel’s only hope is to conscript otherwise observant and orthodox conscientious objectors.

2. You guys are capable of sending women to war, cowards!

3. nothing more that barbaric dictatorship.

4. How do you say leeches in Hebrew?

5. Haha Israel has to deal with the hippies. This is gross. I'm imagining Amish people being forced to conscription in the United States.

6. Beware, the enemy within have a new target. This is the UNHOLY LAND.

7. Be angry . Murdering people and kids all the time and you are angry ??? victim card is expired

8. To think these f☆ckers have had 80 years of sympothy from the world. NO MORE!!

9. Why should real Jews fight for a fake ones?

10. What's the problem with having the Ultra orthodox being exempt?

11. Israel is finished, no one wants to fight a war for someone elses interest and the same is happening here in the USA. Politicians are all for wars as long as other people's children are fighting them.

12. Patriarchy looks like an ultra conservative man, blaming women for why they don’t serve in the military.

13. If Israel stops being a violent occupier, none of their people have to serve!

14. Clash of ‘civilisations’ in Israel. Zionism will collapse. Palestine will be free.

15. It goes against their religious beliefs. Conscientious objectors.

16. During time of Moses everybody fights for israel

17. Now look who's the actual anti-semite.

18. This is the kind of jew muslims like. Those who are willing to be passive against their attacks.

19. Ok so atleast they won’t be responsible for killing children unlike the teens conscripted in the IDF commiting war crimes

20. Those people are really antisemitic. They are against the Judaism religion . If it was Muslim or European doing such a thing, they would call us antisemitic .
    Israel is a farce

21. Freeloaders

22. Imange u vote again for this bibi xD shame on him he cant defend his Country he lie to all

23. Maybe they dont want to be involved with the Isreali Defence Facists.

24. It's kind of hilarious that haredi exemption is the thing that might collapse this government. I'm not party to Israel public sentiment, but is this purely an equity issue, or are there pragmatic concerns behind it? Because that would suggest a need for all hands on deck to invade Lebanon.

    Is Israel basically edging on that? It seems pretty fatalistic at the moment.

25. Israel are getting so much media exposure for all the wrong reasons. This story doesn't seem necessary.

26. All terrorists

27. 😂😂😂 they will soon have a civil war 😂😂😂

28. The ultra-orthodox are often the most vocal in favour of ethnic cleansing and genocide – they were also responsible for the outrageous lies around the October 7 attacks (40 beheaded babies, babies in ovens etc) – but they don't want to get their hands dirty.

29. How dare we expect them to take time away from shopping at the most expensive designer stores.

30. Why are Orthodox Jews afraid of action I mean they have their god to protect them!

31. What about the Israeli Arabs consuming 70% of Israel's budget? Why don't you try to recruit them too
    This vile minority trying to divide and cause conflicts among the pp

32. They are the reason for half the problems but won’t enlist their ugly offspring… all they want to do is pray 🙏. Enlist the fiends and their children…

33. They have the right to NOT defend themselves.

34. When you make deals with the Devil to sustain power.
    For decades the burden has fallen on secular Israelis.
    Now that a real war ( not an occupation by a Police State) is going on with actual drain of resources, casualties and maiming, it becomes CLEAR.
    Remember
    This is a very SMALL place

35. So tired of this sick country

36. It is unfair, one group of people shouldn't be getting all the benefits for not doing anything

37. Well this wouldn’t happen if you stop stealing Palestinian land

38. If I was an Israeli I would definitely become orthodox to avoid the military

39. I guess the ultra Ortho dont want to commit genocide

40. Righteous people don't go to war. If leaders cannot accept it, they should go to the frontlines themselves.

41. Yup we're in crazy times

42. This is not their country or land these are the thieves who occupied land from unarmed civilians with help of America western and diaper 🧷 force's in which the American taxpayers money are sent …..
