Barry Cook 🇨🇦Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men in Israel upset about the possibility of having to do military service.
Coincidentally, Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men in Israeli government and illegal settlements most often the loudest about fighting against Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank. I guess just so long as they aren’t the ones in danger. Funny that.

'Israel’s' conscription crisis is likely to cause a collapse from within
Samuel Geddes argues that “Israel’s” deepening conscription crisis, driven by military exhaustion, political fragmentation, and the ultra-Orthodox exemption, is pushing the Zionist project toward an irreversible internal collapse. Netanyahu’s survival strategy, he writes, has accelerated the implosion.

DoomsdaysCW#Netanyahu’s governing coalition is fracturing. Here’s what it means for #Israel and #Gaza
An Israeli #UltraOrthodox party that has been a key governing partner of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said early Tuesday it was leaving the coalition government.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government suffered a serious blow on Tuesday when an ultra-Orthodox party announced it was bolting the coalition.
"While this doesn’t immediately threaten Netanyahu’s rule, it could set in motion his government’s demise, although that could still be months away. It also could complicate efforts to halt the war in Gaza.
"#UnitedTorahJudaism’s two factions said they were leaving the government because of disagreements over a proposed law that would end broad exemptions for religious students from enlistment into the military.
"Military service is compulsory for most Jewish Israelis, and the issue of exemptions has long divided the country. Those rifts have only widened since the start of the war in Gaza as demand for military manpower has grown and hundreds of soldiers have been killed.
"The threat to the government 'looks more serious than ever,' said Shuki Friedman, vice president of the Jewish People Policy Institute, a Jerusalem think tank.
"Netanyahu is on trial for alleged #corruption, and critics say he wants to hang on to power so that he can use his office as a bully pulpit to rally supporters and lash out against prosecutors and judges. That makes him all the more vulnerable to the whims of his coalition allies."

Netanyahu's coalition fractures. What does this mean for a Gaza ceasefire?
An Israeli ultra-Orthodox party has announced plans to leave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government. The decision destabilizes Netanyahu's leadership amid the ongoing war in Gaza. The party, United Torah Judaism, cites disagreements over a bill granting military draft exemptions for religious students. The issue has long divided Israelis and intensified as military demands grew during the war in Gaza. The departure, which goes into effect in 48 hours, leaves Netanyahu with a slim majority, increasing his reliance on far-right parties in his coalition. The political development comes as Israel and Hamas continue to discuss terms for a ceasefire.

One of Israel’s ultra-Orthodox parties, United Torah Judaism, said it was quitting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition due to a long-running dispute over failure to draft a bill to exempt yeshiva students from military service. Six of the remaining seven members of UTJ wrote letters of resignation. Yitzhak Goldknopf, chairman of UTJ, had resigned a month ago. That would leave Netanyahu with a razor thin majority of 61 seats in the 120 seat Knesset, or parliament.

Fania Oz-Salzberger notes the disastrous consequences for Israel of a 1953 law which made provision for "the near-complete autonomy of ultra-Orthodox schools with no core curriculum, no secular subjects, no history and geography and languages, no sciences, hardly any math, and a heavily policed gender separation.
