Dear Editor,
I admire Israel’s Jewish and Muslim peoples serving in Israel’s Defence Forces!
However, I abhor Haredim Jews’ traditional refusal to defend Israel by force, all the while (while 15% of Israel’s population) living off/sheltered behind Israel’s other Jews’ and Muslim Israelis’ national wealth-building hard work and defence of Israel…in the IDF!
If non-Haredi Jewish women and Muslim-Israelis can fight and die for Israel, then every Haredi male should hang his head in shame, along with all Haredi women scorning/spurning their Haredi men!
Yours,
Howard Hutchins
