1. And Men? Fair Is Fair
emanon ,   USA   (11.24.10)
How many men claim religious exemption solely because they do not want to serve?
2. Better a bill penalizing a person for making false statement
Ilan ,   Ariel   (11.24.10)
There are many ways to evade service besides falsely claiming religious observance. People get doctors to sign false statements regarding health status and people have claimed to have been married as well. It should all be lumped together as trying to deceive the army by making a false statement and punished as an offense..
3. Finally Something Good From "Israeli Gov't " :)
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.24.10)
4. It is disgraceful that this bill was opposed,
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (11.24.10)
not passed, given the wholly cynical use of this opt-out clause made by Israeli women. Furthermore, why should "religious" women be able to opt-out at all? Continued unjustified preferences for the socalled religious. Why not just make it voluntary for women instead of going through this charade of equality.
5. same rsponsibilities same rights
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (11.24.10)
Since jews justify discrimination and 2nd class treatment of Israeli-Arabs with the excuse that we don't serve (even the ones who do serve are still discriminated against). In all fairness, any jew who does not serve regardless the reason, should be treated like jews treat Israeli-Arabs.
6. how foolish to worpship IDF
peach maker   (11.24.10)

7. Same old same old
DB ,   TA, Israel   (11.25.10)
Lieberman said what ever he had to in order to get elected, and then betrayed his voters. Bibi said what ever he had to in order to get elected, and then betrayed his voters, and is on the verge of losing half his MKs. Barak said what ever he had to in order to get elected, and then betrayed his voters, and already lost half his MKs. However Shas and UTJ promised a pay off, and a payoff is what the got!!! Im glad draft dodging doesnt bother the coalition!
