I was thinking of responding to just interjection, but decided not to. Now that Torah repeated it, I’ll make a point I made in an earlier thread.
No one is being jailed for learning Torah. That is rabble-rousing rhetoric. They are (potentially) being jailed for not joining the army. There is a huge difference. Yes, they happen to be learning while not in the army. But the jailing isn’t for learning. It isn’t illegal to learn Torah. The government will still be supporting tens of thousands in Kollel. It would just be illegal to not go to the army, no matter what you are doing instead-learning Torah included.
