Military police arrived at the home of a yeshivah bochur in Or Yehuda early Monday morning in an attempt to arrest him for draft dodging.
Peleg Yerushalmi’s ‘Black Code’ system was activated, calling on the public to come en masse to the ben yeshiva’s home to prevent the arrest.
Dozens of protesters arrived, and the officers left the scene without arresting their target. Like previous arrests, the targeted bochur is Sephardi.
After the police left, the bochurim and avreichim celebrated at the bochur’s home with dancing and singing.

They should dance when HKB”H takes away all our enemies that surround us. Then nobody will have to go fight to defend Israel’s survival. Right now, they are dancing because they manged to get another boy to fight instead of them.
we cannot allow the Zionists to take even 1 weak bochur, this is a total shmad, we cannot negotiate with the Zionists. Our Torah is what protects the Yidden not the chiloni partiers in tel aviv with their toeiva parades.

the torah is very clear that we don’t draft people against their will. there are four categories of soldiers who are exempt from a war: new house, new vineyard, new wife, and one who is afraid of fighting. may we soon see the Kohein of War active in his role of calling these four groups out of the assembly of the hosts and battalions of the צה״ל and that no more bochurim will be called to fight before reaching their nineteenth birthday
