No, gavra. Like I mentioned above, many Chareidim already never accepted government funds they are legally entitled to under the law.
And they are legal residents merely by having lived there for 100 or 200+ years. Having lived in Eretz Yisroel long before the Zionists came there. (Even before they were trying to make Uganda the zionist state.)
Tell that to the Arabs. Or are you a proponent of the right of return?
Even the Charaidim that don’t take money use the state for municipal services, which they need to be legally in the state.
As I said, I think the angry Chilonim would be happy if the Charaidim got up as a whole & refused all funds & services (including health care, etc.). They would then no longer want to draft Charaidim. Are you suggesting that as a solution?
