Israel's Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Tuesday that Haredi (often called 'Ultra-Orthodox') men studying Jewish religious texts full-time will no longer be deferred from army service.

Israel's Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Tuesday that Haredi men studying Jewish religious texts full-time will no longer be deferred from army service, an exemption that dates back to the state's founding.The decision references the 'urgent need for additional personnel' in the military, as Israel seeks the destruction of Hamas in Gaza and faces a threat from Hezbollah, another terrorist group, on its northern border.

The essential reason for the Haredi resistance has nothing to do with fear of mortal dangers, a charge hurled by some who disapprove of Haredim in general, secularists who have long derided their religious fellow citizens as 'parasites' and 'draft dodgers.'To begin with, danger isn't something faced only by soldiers, as has been evident in the countless terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians, including the massive one of Oct 7.
