STORYLINE:
Israel’s Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled unanimously that the military must begin drafting ultra-Orthodox men for military service, a decision that could lead to the collapse of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition as Israel continues to wage war in Gaza.
The court ruled that in the absence of a law that distinguishes between Jewish seminary students and other draftees, Israel’s compulsory military service system applies to the ultra-Orthodox like any other citizens.
Under longstanding arrangements, ultra-Orthodox men have been exempted from the draft, which is compulsory for most Jewish men and women.
These exemptions have long been a source of anger among the secular public, a divide that has widened during the eight-month-old war.
Politically powerful ultra-Orthodox parties, key partners in Netanyahu’s governing coalition, oppose any change in the current system. If the exemptions are ended, they could desert the coalition, causing the government to collapse and leading to new elections.
The court decision comes at a sensitive time, as the war in Gaza drags on into its ninth month and the number of dead soldiers continues to mount.

Free Palestine. Land back.
So you want the Jews kicked out?
Palestine named given to Judea by Adrian because jews refused to changed their ways to the Roman ways.
Jewish were displaced but never fully left the land of Israel.
Translation?
God is with Them what are They Worried About- They will be able to Preform Miracles like Duhhh

No better than anyone else.
The haredi and their leadership think they are better than non haredi! They are an abomination and should be treated as such!
Israel is one nation Chosen by GOD as GODS PEOPLE above all others.
We Stand with the Haredim!
Who are "we." Hardei troll?

It is against they're religion so they are exempt.
Folks please read the Bible especially book of John, so you get to know
Yeshua, that is Jesus who is God & loves you & wants you to give your life to Him bc He gave His life for all of us so we don't have to spend eternity suffering in hell but begin a relationship with Him now & then be with the Lord Himself in peace & joy in heaven in eternity@
These religious Jewish men can serve their God & country by becoming chaplains in the Jewish military.
What does the Torah say about this?🤔
The haredi and their uniforms are NOT in the torah! The haredi are an abomination!
Free Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Free Israel from the Ashkenazi Mafia.
God is Great ??? WEAR A YELLOW HAT 😂😂😂😂
