yichusdik -“As for national service, some options have been available for a long time, and these have been rejected for a long time.”
They are rejected for the simple reason that they are Not law. The IDF has deals with the Mizrachists that they give them Frum army units and Sherut Leumi. These can be changed at will. Why should we trust them? They want to renege on their deal about sending Yeshiva guys to the army, so why wouldn’t they renege on this -if they felt like it?
