In honor of Israel’s 70th birthday, the IDF together with the Interior Ministry are giving a free pass to all d raft dodgers who reside outside of Israel to come visit the country without having to worry about being arrested or conscripted once the reach Israeli soil.
According to the plan, which was leaked from the IDF and reported by Charedim 10 news site, beginning with the first day of Chol Hamoed Pesach, until the 1st of Sivan, draft dodgers will be allowed to enter and exit Israel once without being arrested upon arrival.
During this time, those who have not sorted out their military service requirements, may get in touch with a conscription office and do so, without risk of imprisonment. According to the plan, which was developed and pushed forward by Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, those arriving in the country, who do not sort out their military service requirements, (either signing up or receiving a proper deferral) will have until the 2nd of Sivan to leave the country.
The plan has not yet been publicized officially, but sources within the IDF state that it is real.

its a bait.
ywn, stop using the term draft dodgers. doesn’t apply here, these boys are not needed for the israel army and the army exists only to destroy them
Some people are proposing to take frum boys into the army in frum regiments. You should know that it’s a shtus. The army is made לכתחילה for the purpose of changing the minds of the boys in the army. It’s a statement they made long ago. It’s very long. And it’s only a trick that they are using now to deceive the frummah into entering the army. The truth is Am Yisroel has to keep out of the army. We have to maintain our privilege as all the countries give, rabbinical students are patur from the draft, exempt from the draft. Let’s continue to fight for it, and not to yield, and not to listen to the מסיתים ומדיחים who are talking about frum regiments for frum boys.
