Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid called Sunday for denying
government funding and passports to ultra-Orthodox Jews refusing
military service, Anadolu news agency reported.
�The recruitment of Haredi is a matter of values, and they must
enlist,� Lapid told Israel�s Army Radio.
�If they do not, they should not receive budgets, they should not get passports, and they should not be allowed to travel to Uman
(Ukraine).�
Each year, thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews travel to the Ukrainian
city of Uman to celebrate the Jewish New Year.
The issue of Haredi enlistment remains contentious, with
ultra-Orthodox Jews opposing compulsory military service, despite a
June 2023 ruling by Israel�s Supreme Court that mandates their
conscription, just like other Israeli citizens.
On Friday, Tel Aviv announced the gradual enlistment of 7,000
ultra-Orthodox Jews into the military, set to start this weekend.
The Haredi community, accounting for around 13% of Israel�s 10 million residents, traditionally avoids military service, dedicating their
lives to studying the Jewish holy book, the Torah.

The bearded ones with the black coats are a cowardly lot. Filthy too.
"So far as the Jews are concerned, they do not want to be placed in
comfortable buildings. They actually prefer to live as many to a room
as possible. They have no conception of sanitation, hygiene or decency
and are, as you know, the same sub-human types that we saw in the
internment camps."
