Reply To: A Third of Israeli Youth Don’t Enlist in the IDF

MDG: Read the second paragraph: “at least a third of males getting exemptions for mental health reasons…”

Chareidim and Israeli Arabs aren’t the ones getting mental health exemptions. They get exemptions with another classification. So even more than 1 in 3 secular Israelis are getting off with a mental health excuse. In fact chareidim and Israeli Arabs are too low a percentage of the population to even reach a majority of the third of Israelis using this type of exemption.
