    The ones who want the occupation and wars the most are the ones that don't want to fight.
  • @ginavega6458
    They need to contribute to the country they live in. They should not expect others to die for their way of life. It's cowardice.
  • @TdotNinja
    They wont last in Gaza for 5 minutes. Hamas will just say 'boo!"
  • The Israel's Supreme Court has done the right thing, be it a little late. Why should a group of citizens in Israel have special privileges of not having to serve in the military? Why can they be a burden to the society of not having to work for a living and yet they can live on other people's effort? If they don't serve and don't work for a living, they should be stripped of their citizenship. They can have religious freedom. But this freedom should not the excuse for them to be a burden to the rest of the country.
  • Dam it’s about time that the cowards get drafted like everyone else….
  • @lealoo6287
    If they won't fight, put in jobs of support such as mechanics, medics, drivers, etc.
  • @potatoradio

  • Oh my as an Israeli ' what these men who spend all day "reading" don't want to join. Opps sorry. I get upset with those people because they sit reading for 8hours but then 99.999 , do not practice what they're reading about ' send their ass to the army, פויל' וואס ווילן זיצן און ליינען אונזער הייליגן בוך און נישט אריינגיין אין מיליטער און אונזער לאנד באצאלט זיי גארנישט טאן און ווייטער מאכן אז זייערע ווייב האבן קינדער.
