1. It's Real Easy
Aryeh ,   Brooklyn, USA   (08.15.12)
Show that you are serious about permitting Haredim to serve whilst being unmolested and you will see more who are willing to serve. The most important issues are Kashrut --- Mehadrin Shabbat (when not on missions) Tzniut --- at all times When they hear that they will have to listen to female performers they will not enlist. And, btw, why would anyone be required to listen to a performer? Since when is that part of military service? And why bother to have a chief chaplain who is in the pocket of the generals rather than one who owes his allegiance to Hashem?
2. Take that welfare teat out of their mouths and cut off
Al   (08.15.12)
funding to the bogus Yeshivas and that will be the end of it. Stop all funding to schools that do not follow a minimal education standard in secular studies and be done with it. All welfare, child allowances etc etc should be denied to draft evaders, and be done with it. Its time to cut off funding to these schnorrers. If my kids who were raised in Yeshivas (Black Hat ones) can serve so can they. Its time for some tough love. No one will save these Jews from the enemy but themselves. Iran has all of you in their sights. The party is over
3. Look at all recent Ynet articles
Sane ,   Manchester England   (08.15.12)
About the army. Immorality, violence against each other etc. etc. Quite right the Orthodox don't want any part of your mess. And that is just what you lot reported.
4. Secular made their bed, now they should sleep in it
Samuel   (08.15.12)
It's only because of the sins of Jews that Hashem sends them enemies. If all Jews would fulfill the commandments of the Torah and there would be no Jews desecrating the laws of Hashem, Israel would live peacefully and in bliss. There's therefore no reason for religious Jews who try to observe Hashem's every commandment to fight the enemies they didn't bring on. Those who brought the enemies to Hashem's land should fight them themselves.
5. Secular fantasies
Zalman ,   Yerushalayim   (08.15.12)
You'll first have to gas us all before you get what you want from us.
6. iran
graham key ,   odessa canada   (08.16.12)
let me see the british gave irael to the jewish people, so why are the british being so quiet now. because the brits [ english] have always waited for someone else to start the fight, so go israel, they will join or be humiliated by the world. jewish people are proud of there country,. just like canadians, i for one would enlist in your forces if asked.
7. Haredi physical partners,secular...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (08.16.12)
spiritual partners in Israel s existence,to build together AM EHAD.
8. Aw, but I wanted to have that cake that I just ate...
Az   (08.18.12)
Maybe you should offer them other sorts of roles, like explaining to the generals or whomever why their means/goals are self-defeating?
