Three young Chareidim who were arrested during a protest against the chillul kevarim at an ancient beis kevaros in Yehud were transferred to the military police, it was reported on Tuesday.
After their arrest, the police entered their names and ID cards into the police terminal and discovered that they are eligible for conscription. It was decided to transfer them to the military police in accordance with the Attorney General’s decision that any “draft dodger” caught by the police is automatically transferred to the military police.
B’Chadrei Chareidim has learned that one of those arrested was the grandson of the Mishkenos HaRo’im Rebbe.
Following the arrests, Peleg Yerushalmi announced that they are launching a huge protest.
Attorneys Shlomo Haddad and Itai Cohen, who are representing the three Chareidim, stated, “Today, three young Chareidi men were arrested who participated in the protest in Yehud against chillul kevarim. The detainees were brought to the police station and interrogated, and after a review, it was decided to release them. However, during the review at the station, it became clear that the three are registered as wanted for military service. Following an inquiry conducted by the police with the IDF, an order was received to arrest them for draft evasion.”
“This is a very unusual step. It seems that in the circumstances, this is an unusual action that raises questions, especially against the background of the nature of the protest and the public sensitivity surrounding the issues of the kevarim and of Chareidi recruitment to the IDF,” the attorneys added.

Let’s figure this out – these guys are supposed to be exempt from the draft because they’re SITTING AND LEARNING, which is supposed to be protecting the Jewish people as well as the soldiers who die, are wounded, traumatized or just not with their families for months on end…..Yet they were arrested for demonstrating – is that also protective of the Jewish nation? Is there a yeshiva in Yahud and they just ran over their on their break? If they’re not learning – why shouldn’t they be arrested???
The greatest sakanah of all time to yahadut?
The unadulterated Kefirah permeating in eretz hakodesh from all those associated with the reshaim who represent and promote Medinat Yisroel
It’s not enough to learn. You have to use your learning and be moicha. These are the real Jews. Sitting and learning without Massim is worthless.
LBJ “unadulterated kefirah”. moron. more torah being learned than in any period of history.Make sure if you go to Eretz Yisroel that you avoid mekomos kedoshim guarded by your “kofrim” (with hashem’s protection)
Nothing like the 3 weeks to have idiots provide us with challenges on how to respond.
I believe a common message at many of the anti-draft protests is “we would rather go to jail than go to the army”. Well, you get what you wish for. The protesters really should make up their minds.
They should shut down the entire country. Starting by clogging all the business districts in Tel Aviv, blocking all traffic and disrupting the entire city’s and the State’s business.
Peleg once again demonstrates the hypocrisy of full time learners. Taking a day off to protest is bitul Torah, especially when it’s done to support the shake down artists who “defend” “kvarim”. The national pastime of the extremists is a good hafganah. Meanwhile, not to be outdone we have painted Iranian flags decorating certain neighborhoods in beit shemesh (to replace the Palestinian ones that were removed over by the city.) Hashem Yeachem.
The logic is that the zechus of learning Torah is not enough for protecting the dead, but evidently it is enough for protecting the living.
Most of these Kevarim are Goyim.
Aren’t they supposed to be in yeshiva learning
Guess things are different now a days
Going to a happening is more important

This is exactly what those who say that Yeshiva Bochurim should enlist in the army believe too…

English translation. We have no issues with organizing fighting forces and fighting instead of spending time in Beis Medrash. But only when the people we are fighting against are Jews.

Mr UJM Let me quote you
These political rallies accomplish nothing.

But at least those type of political rallies don’t cause damage. These type most certainly will. Imagine Yeshiva Bochurim shutting down the entire the entire country but then thinking there will be sympathy for not drafting them. Imagine how many bochurim will get arrested at these protests. And all for the sake of what?
You clearly believe that you are not one of those “Galut Jews” who cowers in fear. We have our own country and we know how to fight. Got that. You could still use a little sechel and realize that you don’t start up with those who are stronger than you.
ujm and lbj, You should be mispallel that you should be able to do teshuvah for sinat chinom. i suspect you are trying to imitate a hareidi; no one can be that stupid.
