If drafting the Ultra-Orthodox is what ends this genocide, let it end this genocide. And I will laugh my ass off if that's the reason too.

Fuck 'em.
Equal Rights, Equal Responsibilities. End of fucking story.
Hey now. If you're so adamant that Israel should be invoking divine retribution on these infidels, wouldn't you want a piece of the action? It's the Crusades 3.0!
That's just the thing - the Ultra-Orthodox tend to be pretty cold towards the idea of Israel. Some theological shit about the messiah and the formation of Israel. The Ultra-Orthodox aren't really 'invested' in the ideology of the current Israeli state, they just love having a government dependent enough on their votes to let them live out their traditionalist fantasies.
they also love spitting on 9 year olds who dare to wear shorts and t-shirts in the middle eastern summer, and call them whores and harlots.
Then why (and I'm not trying to attack you, I'm genuinely curious) have we not seen anything about them protesting before? Because it didn't directly affect them? Sounds pretty similar to most ultra-conservative groups, I guess.
Yeah, basically. Everyone else can get fucked as long as the Ultra-Orthodox keep getting subsidies so their men can study the Torah all day and the women can work to support the family, raise the kids, and be sex-segregated in public.
Yeah, look into the NY public funding going into ultra Orthodox schools. It's depressing.
You'd think the Feds would step in to fix that sort of Establishment Clause violation, no matter how powerful the cultists are at the NYC (or Clearwater, or Salt Lake City, or...) local government level, but I guess not.
I recall reading once upon a time that the original idea for this exemption was that it was for literal scholars - a few hundred priestly intellectual sorts that were professional serious full-time Torah-studiers. But the exemption didn't have any specific criteria listed for what that meant, so the ultra-orthodox all wound up saying "yeah, I study the Torah all day too, so I qualify."
Israeli Hamas they couldn't find until now.
Arrest them all and send them to Israel's version of boot camp.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
BNEI BRAK, Israel (AP) — Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men blocked a major highway in central Israel for two hours on Thursday to protest a recent Supreme Court decision ordering young religious men to enlist for military service.
But politically powerful ultra-Orthodox parties have won draft exemptions for their followers that allow them instead to study in religious seminaries.
This long-standing arrangement has bred widespread resentment among the broader public — a sentiment that has grown stronger during the eight-month war against Hamas in Gaza.
Over 600 soldiers have been killed, and tens of thousands of reservists have been activated, straining careers, businesses and family lives.
Many fear that greater contact with secular society through the military will distance adherents from strict observance of the faith.
The Supreme Court this week ordered the government to begin drafting ultra-Orthodox men, saying the system of exemptions is unequal.
The original article contains 350 words, the summary contains 146 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
ordering young religious men to enlist for military service.
GET FUCKED, you live there so suffer along with everyone else.
Good for these Jews.
