They are angry not because they have to serve in military but because this will shows that they are not special from the regular Israeli people.
-
This is hilarious. They are the most extremist group from the Israel side(Palestine side have too). Now that they are required to fight for what they always wanted, they are angy 😂
-
Will not fight; but happily move into "settlements".
-
So, they want to live in the country, but don't want to defend it 🤔
-
They don't want to serve but they want to keep goverment subsidies
-
ben shapiro can sign up first
-
You cannot have such a large chunk of the population sucking up resources from the state while contributing nothing. The selfishness and lack of logic here is confusing.
-
So they support the war in Gaza but want others to do the fighting for them
-
Stop giving them money, all they want is to live for free.
-
Subsidized for reading old books and having kids... of course they don't want a change. Ludicrous
-
Are these the same guys that don't work and depend fully on government support and have like 8 kids per couple
-
Why should they be exempt and Make others die on their behalf !!
-
If women can fight, you can fight.
-
These same people are among the most bloodthristy warmongers within Israeli politics. How convenient that they don't have to actually fight in the wars they all but demand. I'm guessing they might be a little less bloodthirsty if they were themselves required to go to the front lines of the same fights they so eagerly advocate for.
-
So they want free subsidies from the state to study the Torah but not have to serve in the military to defend their country?
-
A good example of eating your cake and having it.
-
They should call up bibi's son, who is hiding in miami.
-
If you want a country, be prepared to defend it. If not, no one else needs to.
-
It should'nt be controversial at all. They should'nt be given any special treatment!
-
Personally, I believe the most hawkish, Pro-War should have to join the military
