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."
