A main Leftist theme during the elections is that Haredim are useless parasites. It is important to publish that while draft dodger Yair Lapid is sitting in his mansion drinking cognac and cursing the Haredim, the Haredim are risking their lives in the IDF.

Who cares about ur antisemitic blabbering

Many Poles also rescued Jews.

I am an Arab citizen of Israel, I would like to say a BIG thank you to these brave soldiers who braved out the weather and risked their lives for others. Tolerance and mutual respect for all faiths and culture is the only way to go. Kol Hakavod IDF & thank you Israel - Credit is well due !!!!

You, haredi haters, Charles, Avi, etc.! Where are your comments that haredim don't serve in the army, don't work, that they must be deported to Iran? If the facts contradict your hatred, you just keep silent.

a rescue. Durh!

I had simply hoped that the LEADER of the "palestinians", who shows only hostility and hatred towards Israel, and encourages the same among the arabs living in Israel, might have had the statesman-like and leader-like dignity to say thanks, with no mention of good PR or bad PR .Since you completely misinterpreted and misread my post, which was not so difficult to understand, maybe you should learn to read before commenting...fool.

All facts must be stated in a news article especially such important ones such as this. The Hareidi are always bashed by the secular in Israel that they do not join the army. The Palestinians would like to wipe out Jews. So here, religious IDF soldiers rescue the declared enemy (declared by the Pals, not the Israelis) and there are many Haredim in the IDF. Needed to be told.

But all the others who don't serve are STILL parasytes . Those Charedi soldiers were on the right place on the right moment , and did what had to be done , and that's fine . Seculars had done the same thing . But , i will not generalise , those Charedi soldiers are still an exeption , the majority of charedim sits at home

Too many people see the haradim in a bad light. Too many people claim the IDF's sole goal is to kill civilians and cause damage. Too many people claim Jews wouldn't help save "Palestinian" lives. Sadly, the need to cite religious and ethnic descriptions in this article are required because its been used equally in so many negative articles in the past, and will again in the future. It should be noted that such positive articles about the IDF are rarely mentioned, even in Israeli media, and hardly ever in Arab and Western media.

but it being reported in the media, especially outside Israel, is rare.

Maimonides said if you meet a goy on a riverbank, you must not throw him in, but if he is already in the river, you must not pull him out. See Israel Shahak's book for the reference.

Torah and Talmud... and it was all an eye opener for me...It's something I can't accept..especially today.. .. Israel Shahak was my first introduction into Judaism...and now Gilad Atzmon is my Guru... Where is my other comment on this article...Is Ynet up to their old tricks again? TATA

These ultra-Orthodox soldiers were not doing anything outstanding. They were just following their faith, in helping their fellow human beings. We help all of our fellow human beings, including Palestinians.
