90 percent of war crimes and abuses that I hear about tend to be idf related. Whenever I hear about settlers, it's normally about them stealing a house or occupying.

Then you're not actually paying attention to what is happening. Just whatever headline pops up when you happen to be watching.

The Orthodox community isn't an army, so the crimes they commit would never be labeled as war crimes.

I hear about lsrael wanting to conscript Orthodox youngsters into the army, and a birth rate issue.

They always have, and there is an Orthodox unit with special rules. The community doesn't like it though. As for birth rate, that's strictly for the Secular side. Orthodox women are, to put it bluntly, giving birth as a job. This is part of the issue between them and the Secular Jews that fund their lifestyle. Who the hell wants to pay high taxes so someone else's family of 10 can live without working?
