@ujm – your statement that “Every country, including Israel, exempts multiple classes of people in society. Including, but not limited to, judges, elected politicians, legislators (MKs), university students/educators, certain entertainers, journalists, conscience objectors, Arab Israeli citizens, etc.” is just not accurate. There have been numerous cases of judges and politicians being called up, and universities have had to make accomodations for the massive numbers of students and instructors that were or still are in Miluim. Entertainers and journalists have also been called up, and have been both injured and killed in the war. Conscientious objectors get called – and generally end up in jail if they refuse to serve.

There is an exemption for Arabs – something given due to the fact that it was considered unwise to force them into a situation where they’d potentially be fighting close relatives. There are a number, though, who volunteer and serve.

If you’re going to try to make a point, you need to use facts – not fiction that can be easily disproven by anyone doing a bit of searching on line.
