2. Throw all those that use religion to
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.25.11)
avoid serving in the I.D.F.in a labor camp. They will not travel on Shabat, get kosher food and do something for the country(labor). National service should only be in uniform. Keep the rabinate out of this!

4. While ignoring leftists that dodge
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.26.11)
For every person dodging military service by claiming religious reasons, there are 3 leftists that dodge because they are too lazy to do their part. Time to draft everybody into either national or military service, including Muslims and Christians.
5. enlistment
colin   (11.26.11)
Young woman that are still prepared to enlist into the IDF are idiotic fools. The datim have taken over the IDF and are installing the sick religions to exclude woman in serving SO GIRLS STAY AWAY FROM ENLISTMENT AGANCIES.
6. ALL girls should be exempt of...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (11.26.11)
military service.
7. Will the IDF force them to sing?

There is a very well-known and very obvious reason why Muslim Arabs are not required to serve and have never been required to do so.

Israel's women are some of the brightest in the world; it would be hobbling the military to not have them serve.
10. Army draft
Joshua Shalet ,   Jerusalem   (11.28.11)
END THE DRAFT! We dont need it anymore; only one third of the population serve. Create a professional army; it is more efficient and better for Israel's economy.
11. Women draft dodgers?
Spencer ,   Israel   (11.28.11)
Those that lied and are found out should be made an example of and prosecuted. Then, after their punishment has been carried out, they should be drafted. As fot #6 remarks, shame on her. Unlike yourself, we do have many partriotic women (religious and non religious) who want to and do serve in our army.
12. 11Spencer,Shame on who?
ORA ,   Jerusalem   (11.29.11)
I am from a generation,where girls played with dolls,and boys with weapons...where men did not send women to the battlefield,but instead protected them. Till the 20th century ,the only women soldiers were the Amazones.

Shame on YOUm Ora. Wake up. Times have changed for the better. You women are always crying out for equal opportunity. Our men aren't sending women into battle. The Country is giving ALL patriots a chance to serve their country and ensure its future.
