MCP -“Apukerma, you can feel free to wait for a Navi or Bas Kol while people around you are targeted by the Arabs to be shot or blown up. This is not a milchemes rishus. This is self defense.”
Even if we would grant you that it’s self defense, why should Charedim have to be drafted? The Zionists started and want a Medina, so let them fight for it. Why should the Charedim have to defend it along with them? Those that started it -should defend it. All of a sudden we are in the same boat -so we must “Share the burden”. We didn’t join this boat because we wanted to.
And even if we would have done this willingly -we still wouldn’t have to go to the army because the Torah says that those who keep the Torah have Sholom. So the reason there is No Sholom with the Goyim is because Jews don’t keep the Torah – Namely the Chilonim!
