bk613- I already explained how the government is acting inappropriately. The fact that the army/government isn’t run according to halacha is NOT irrelevant at all – that IS the point!
Israel is not the US – the Israeli government is a Jewish government. We get our ideas of right and wrong from the Torah, and not from the goyim.
“There is a national draft.”
That IS the point. They were not allowed to make that draft in the first place. They did not ask a sheila about it, and as far as I know, no Gadol told them that they were allowed to make it.
Additionally, at one point, they made laws getting rid of the Yeshiva deferment, and they can do so again. I believe that is part of the concern here – that those bochurim who get deferments will be in the system and they can then draft them in the future if they change the law again.
