i see it like this.. and i do not profess to be a baki in anything, (buy maybe common sense) there are two issues here and i see them to be separate issues. One is induction of charedim into the iDF the other is share the burden. I do believe the spiritual koach of learning is protecting the state of israel and the Jewish people. i do believe without it we will cease to exist. I also believe that the ENTIRE CHAREIDI population has been raised to believe that the state will provide all of your needs for you and asks nothing in return. That is an Israeli mindset that needs to change…If you live in the state , and get bituach leumi, and kupat cholim, and free tuition, and subsidized housing, and food, and arnona discounts, and garbage pickup, and ambulance services, and whatever else you depend on the medina for, than you should give something back. In the rest of the world its usually in taxes.. Well i wont go there but you know there arent any chareidim paying any kind of taxes…so taht brings me to my next point. if they want to sit in shalom veshalva, at whose expense is that security.? Well its at the expense of the poster above, who worries about his son’s service in the IDF and his welfare. I agree the IDF is no place for a “good Jewish boy” but if the nachal charedi and the hesder factions have found a system that allows them to serve and remain in the proper environment, then IMHO the charedim should show them the utmost kavod and respect. They are making a kiddush Hashem, and bridging the gap. I also believe that not every “charedi” sitting in a yeshiva should be there. and i also agree that the male charedi population should be providing for their families and not relying on govt. either thru kodesh work or other work in an appropriate setting. so the bottom line is,, if you wnat to protest and dodge the draft and not particiapte at all in share the burden, then the answer is be like neturi karta. dont use the govt at all. dont take their money for you mosdos, or for your healthcare, or for your subsidies. and then you can learn uninterrupted, with no one bothering you… just an idea…but i honestly cant blame the secular Israeli society for viewing us as parasites….
