If religious Jews want Haredim to work, then religious Jews should say so, without advocating for buses on Shabbat, non-kosher food, and whatever the Russian goyim, self-hating Russian Jews, and Lapid people want. If they use anti-religious points, they loose any legitimacy. Lieberman doesn't just want Haredim to work and serve in the IDF. He wants to destroy the Jewish character of the State.
It is not just religious Jews who are justified in wanting haredim to work, serve, and contribute to society. All the Jewish taxpayer money is getting siphoned to support the kollel welfare system. All the Jewish people who are required to serve in the army by being a citizen are fulfilling those responsibilities while the haredim shirk them. It is incredibly ungrateful and a disgraceful stance to suggest that only religious Jews should have any say in demanding ethical behavior from haredi citizens.
When secular Israelis make these arguments about the financially unsustainable haredi society, they have a valid point because the truth is the truth even if it's not being said by a religious Jew that you view as "pure."
If they want Haredim to serve, then there should be Haredi units and the IDF should operate according to Halacha, not according to "humane" values that put our soldiers in danger out of concern for enemy "civilians". Until then, people can't be forced to serve. Israel doesn't need extra soldiers. They wouldn't integrate into the IDF. Many Left Wing Jews don't serve also. Israel has more than enough people serving. Israel should just get a professional army. Why waste money on having soldiers to unnecessary things? If Lapid cares about money and handouts, then he shouldn't support the IDF wasting money on unnecessary stuff.
There ARE Haredi units. Nachal Haredi was designed so that haredim could serve in the army without having to compromise their practices. They largely protest and boycott this unit. It is filled mostly with more rightwing chardal people, and a few haredim who are OTD or very outside the box exceptions in their community. Very few haredim serve in these units.
You talk about all these things to change policies, all to serve the selfish demands of haredim. The policy debate is valid only insofar as it's logical to change policy for reasons that help the country better and make it better able to fight the enemy. Policy debate over the army as a way to
cater to the haredi refusal to take responsibility, refusal to integrate into society, refusal to get off the welfare drip, is just another way of being their lapdog and carrying water for the corrupt haredi MKs.
Do you ever read what haredi gedolim say? None of them are opposed to the army on grounds that the Purity of arms rules are too strict and endanger soldiers. They are opposed to the army on the grounds that they believe haredis will go OTD from the cultural influences by serving, that haredi men are meant to LEARN TORAH and only Learn Torah, full time, and taking away from that in any way is an averah, and in general that the Torah cannot be used to make halachic rulings about the army because it's not in Shulchan Aruch and we can't pasken from Tanach, all of which is just proof that we are not allowed to HAVE an army in this time before moshiach (Just as we are not allowed to have a state, really, but we live here like we live in any other place because the land has kedusha and there is so much learning here, we didn't create the state - that's your averah). But all you frei chilonim go on ahead and protect us every day from the arab terrorist animals because you don't follow halacha anyway, but we can't soil ourselves with any activity like that, certainly not take away from Torah learning to do so. And of course no gratitude at all for protecting because afterall, it's Hashem and the Torah learning which does the protecting, you guys are just doing a fake "going through the motions" hishtadlus but none of your military efforts are actually achieving anything, it's our learning.
This is what they say. Not what you say. It's absolutely a disgrace.
