3. Drop the insanity of Haredi draft, create a professional IDF
Borash ,   NYC   (07.11.13)
Defense budget cuts invariably affect military capabilities and in some cases may bring about creative solutions and adjustments leading to a better military (lean and mean fighting machine). However, I fail to see budget savings when the IDF recruits soldiers that cost 6 times more and requiring concessions that make them 10 times more expensive to maintain. Furthermore, while the IDF needs much better and longer trained soldier, the draft reform stipulates that service will be shorter for the new expensive recruits. The ideology behind the IDF Compulsory service does not stand the test of reality. It is time to wean the religious parasite off of the government payroll and create a lean, professional, and better military (IDF to dismiss 3,000 to 5,000 career soldiers due to budget cuts and the same government’s budget fund 54,000 yeshiva parasites)

5. We're NOT a nation of equality under the law! No justice!
Thinking Jew ,   Israel   (07.12.13)
6. Selective application of the law = Christian doctrine
American-Israeli Jew ,   Israel   (07.12.13)
Maybe, the first couple of years (48-50), there was a need to "tinker" with which laws to enforce and which to "fudge." Today, it's just a ridiculous adhocracy run amuck by cronies doing whatever they want with no regard for the law; changing whatever they want whenever they want.
