Always ask: Most religious male Jews want to learn Torah and what I am saying is when they turn 18 and don’t want to go into the army. The government forces them to declare that learning is their occupation. The secularist thought that after they would want to earn money and then they would be drafted.
If the government arrests them they will just sit in jail where they will have lawyers insuring they can learn, daven and have three meals. You are claiming that you want them to share the burden and join the army. Would you then also share their burden by raising their ie the Haredi standard of living. So let say the standard of living is $5,000.00 per month. Would you say those who earn more then that amount should be taxed so that everyone earns the same amount? After all everyone should share the burden.
Izobar There are many industries which Jews don’t seem to want to take jobs such as Agriculture, Construction and home care for the elderly which are filled by Africans, Indians and Thais to name a few. The same thing can be done here. You know that for a time the Israeli were thinking about having the Chinese run all their harbors . In Israel the Supreme Court would never let the Haredim run the government. They wouldn’t even let Bibi change the way the Supreme Court is appointed. The Supreme Court is the only part of the government held by the leftist and they will never give it up.
