Joseph,

Your lame topic deliberately omitted the following from that JPost article:

“In November, a report by The Jerusalem Post’s sister publication Maariv found that, relative to the number of potential secular recruits being exempt from the military due to mental illness, the number of ultra-Orthodox (haredim) being exempted is higher.

For example, the data for two years show that while the number of mental illness-related exemptions among secular citizens rose 29% to 2,097 exemptions per year from 1,625, it rose 49% to 391 among religious men from 262.

According to the data, of the 4,500 who received exemptions, 44.7% were haredim, 46.6% secular and another 8.7% are religious Zionist.”

So aside from Haredim receiving automatic exemptions to learn, they have also claimed mental health exemptions for the past two years at even higher rates than the secular are. Yet, you still bash the Zionists; what a sick, nasty troll.
