“Chareidim and Israeli Arabs aren’t the ones getting mental health exemptions.”
MDG,
Don’t pay any attention to the nasty troll who quoted the JPost article and deliberately omitted:
“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.”
Despite his habitual lying, mental health exemptions for the Charedim have risen at a much higher rate than for the secular.
