1. Jews in the army, Xtians and arabs in national service.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (07.09.12)
The arabs and Xtians have no love for a Jewish state, only the desire to live there so they can not be trusted in the IDF.
2. As Israeli arab, I agree
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (07.09.12)
it's only fair that all share the burden, all should serve. Also, it is only fair that all share resources and have equal opportunity, all forms of discrimination should be eliminated.
3. The Arabs like the haredim will surely not be pleased
Moshe   (07.09.12)
and together will bring about a blessed civil war to overthrow this undemocratic government which will be thanks to this new undemocratic self-elected committee.
4. Even bi-sexuals should be called up!
Sarah B ,   USA / Israel   (07.09.12)
I should know, as a proud upstanding bi American woman. I fulfilled my military role in the Women's Division, US Marinecore on SS Rugmuncher. Saw active duty and saved friends in the line of duty (operation carpetburn).
5. Integration is the ONLY solution, will bring peace to World
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.09.12)
6. Who is this self-elected "plessner committee"
Moshe   (07.09.12)
to boss haredi Jewry? Were they voted for by the citizens? Like Israel's self-appointed-for-life anti-haredi Judicial system, this new committee is another self-elected organization trying to impose their leftist anti-Torah decisions toward haredim. Does anyone still have any doubts that there Israel is NOT a democracy and never was but a communist state run by self-elected leftist secular G-dless officials without public's approval.
7. # 4 who cares about your sexuality ?!
(07.09.12)
8. hysterical Lieberman wants a civil war !
(07.09.12)
9. Lieberman moves to the Left of Mofaz, Netanyahu
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.09.12)
...with call for integration of the military at age 18 for all, Arab, Jew, and Christian. It is the first step to the long road of integration of Palestine Israel as 1 Country. This historic step is parallel to what happened in the United States when Presidents Roosevelt and Truman integrated the wartime workforce and US military.
10. Who is this self-elected "plessner committee"
Moshe   (07.09.12)
to boss haredi Jewry? Were they voted for? Like Israel's self-appointed-for-life anti-haredi Judicial system, this new committee is another self-elected organization trying to impose their leftist anti-Torah decree toward haredim. Does anyone still have doubts that Israel is NOT a democracy and never was but a communist state run by self-elected leftist secular G-dless officials without public's approval?
11. Do we really need Arab draftees in IDF?
Reuven   (07.09.12)
Mosat Israeli Arabs hate us. Do we really want to give them military training, which they'll ultimately use against us? We don't need them walking around with guns.
12. #1: Bunny Mayer: What about the Muslims in the US Forces?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (07.09.12)
Arabs DO serve in the IDF as well as Muslims but to date none have killed Israeli soldiers like the Muslim at Fort Hood who held the rank of Major! Bunny, you and the other Yanks keep out of our business. You have something to say then make Aliyah instead of sitting in LA and face what we Israelis face every day!
13. Mr. Lieberman is out to win votes with...
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.09.12)
the Russian non-Jewish population in Israel who are anti-religious. Thank you, Jewish Agency!
14. #6Plessner whose father is a goy &he got married in a church
Dov   (07.09.12)
Plessner, whose father is a goy and grandfather is a goy and he himself got married in a church is behind the evil decree of drafting Torah learners. Can you expect anything better from such a person?
15. Tower of Bavel,Now Army of Bavel too?
Roland Seener ,   London England   (07.09.12)
16. Status Quo agreement
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (07.09.12)
At the very foundation of the State of Israel is the status quo agreement between David Ben-Gurion and the Chazon Ish and Agudat Yisrael exempting yeshivah students from the draft. You cannot just disregard existing agreements. Does the IDF actually require all Arabs, all women, all Haredim to join the IDF? Major changes require an element of agreement. Do we want thousands of soldiers creating problems inside the IDF? Do we want Israel defended by Arabs who may have close relatives on the 'other side'?
17. Kulturkampf?
Joseph ,   London UK   (07.10.12)
We don't need a three way confrontation between politicians, Israeli Arabs and Haredim. Israeli politicians have a record of corruption, e.g. President Katzav, P M Olmert etc. etc. Gedolim like the Gerrer Rebbe, Visnitzer Rebbe, Rav Elyashiv, Rav Ovadiah Yosef etc. have world wide following and respect. Israeli Arab MK's openly support Israel's mortal enemies. The Govt needs to encourage more Haredim and Arabs to enlist. It does not need a kulturkampf.
18. #11 KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE AND
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (07.10.12)
YOUR ENEMY CLOSER! Have you ever heard of this phrase? Israel has ot do this in order to neutralize the ones who are the real trouble makers.
19. IF tORAH CANNOT BE LEARNED IN ERETZ YISROEL B'SHALOM
SU ,   JERUSALEM   (07.10.12)
ALL THE PURE OLIM WHO CAME TO ERETZ YISROEL JUST TO LEARN TORAH HERE[AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF US] -WE SHOULD ALL UP AND LEAVE AND MOVE THE CENTER OF TORAH TO A BETTER LOCATION UNTIL THE SONEI YISROEL ARE REMOVED FROM THE SCENE- AND IN SO DOING, THERE WILL BE NO MERIT LEFT TO JUSTIFY A JEWISH STATE BASED ON SECULAR VALUES. THE EMPTY RULERS WITH THEIR EMPTY DIATRIBES WILL BE soon be history., ALL JUSTIFICATION OF ISRAEL AS A JEWISH HOMELAND IS BASED ON TORAH AND NOT ON ANYTHING ELSE including not ON UN VOTES
20. to no 4
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (07.11.12)
I guess,to be bi-"sexual" is usually not a choice. But being a bi-American,definitely is.. You must be an active participant in the flying carpet mission, Ms. fake "Sarah B , USA/Israel " And it seems, you have been suffering from the "spinning head" syndrom...... Your idiotic post, is only reinforcing the authenticity and authority of the real Sara B. Keep up the "good " work..
21. Moshe , Plesner committee is composed
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.11.12)
with ELECTED Knesseth Members . They included also members of the charidi factions . Plesner is only the head of this committee , from there the name .
