Pretty sure secularists would scream if they were forced to listen to a torah lecture. Why not just off entertainment and those who find it entertaining can go and those who don't won't

The Colonel did not cancel Sarit Hadad's appearance because of his religion, that was a libel invented by a Leftist organization. Both Hadad and Moshe Peretz volunteered to appear, the soldiers preferred to hear the modern Peretz rather than Hadad who is their mother's age. Now a question. a few years ago, Barbivai fired some cadets because they did not want to listen to 3d rate female singers. In the last round of fighting, who was missed more: the combat cadets who were ejected from the army, or the jobnik singing girls?

Israel's so called democracy is only for the secular left. Israel is probably from the top racist and morally corrupt countries in the world. Secular Israel is a disgrace to humanity.

This seemingly exhausted commander is wasting the concentration he needs to care for the security of his soldiers, fighting their beliefs Worn out commanders make bad decisions and should be replaced.

Soldiers put their lives on the line and lived in miserable conditions without complaint. The least the army can do is give these soldiers the respect they deserve is to let them decide for themselves if they wish to be entertained by women. A discrete "bathroom visit" during the show should not be considered a crime. Don't make these poor soldiers have to choose between respecting their commanders or respecting their beliefs.

Oh dear will the poor religious soldiers get excited about a women singing, they need help

Why forbid a female singer? The commander could have said to the soldiers "You are free to listen or not". This way he forbid to everybody to listen to a singer! This way we are going towards making all of Israel a Mea Shearim.
