Haredi demonstrators block an intersection in Jerusalem in protest against the statements to promote the recruitment of Haredi for service in the IDF/police spokesmen
Quotas, incentives, recruitment targets, sanctions and denial of budgets, new routes and training - we have reached another round, who knows how many in the series, of a new recruitment law after which nothing will change.
The mountains of details and the slight changes will once again drag the public into a futile discussion in the end of which everything will remain the same - a growing ultra-Orthodox group that does not bear the burden it deserves, led by experienced and powerful politicians who know how to squeeze every lemon and aggravation to the end, and a secular and religious-nationalist group that is left alone with the service and taxes .
The solution does not lie in another discriminatory law with quotas and goals that will not be met and are designed to preserve privileges for a few more years, and postpone the end and the High Court until the next round. In order to solve the issue, we need to go back to the basics - we will do what is right and logical and everyone will have to live with it Simple, right? Maybe even simplistic. And here are the reasons that every child can recite, why not do it
:
the ultra-Orthodox won't enlist, the army doesn't want them, they don't want women near them, an adjustment period is required, the job market is more important than the army, they will become the army is made thin and extreme and on and on and on.
How much have we been humiliated over the years just so that we accept the unbelievable discrimination, the failure to bear the burden, the avoidance of the labor market, the devastating results for society and the economy in Israel.
How devastating? A serious and unusual document published yesterday by the budget division Enumerate the damages: a loss of NIS 104 billion in a decade, and future damage that will result in a 13% decrease in GDP and quality of life and a 16% increase in taxation in order to maintain the same standard of living for citizens. This will indeed happen in 2065 according to the division's calculations, but the damages are already piling up The budget department proposes to recruit most of the ultra-Orthodox, "on the basis of the usual mechanisms existing in the law regarding service in the IDF."
The solution does not lie in another discriminatory law with quotas and targets that will not be met.

If the State of Israel wants life, the urgent need right now is to stop making compromises.
We see where this has led us.
We have dived down this rabbit hole, another year passes, another law comes up, another High Court is discussed, and we are still in the same place, at the bottom. And
what is the same base that we need to return to? Equality of rights and duties in everything. In the army, in studies, in the labor market. In everything. Simply equality The schools will teach core, there will be national tests and institutions that do not meet the requirements will be closed. All Israeli students will receive a proper education suitable for 2024 and will allow them to take part in the world of work. Want
to
learn Torah? Happily, do it in addition to school studies. Those who do not learn core will not receive funding and will not be considered a student, and his parents will have to explain to the enforcement system why he is not going to school as required by the compulsory education law.
There will be equality in the military service as well: the same army, the same routes, the same service time, the same requirements and standards. Enough of all the special and questionable routes that They "earn" a small amount of recruits at the price of renouncing everything else, and establish norms of forced consideration, of uniqueness, of special conditions.
The army by its very nature is a tough system. It is designed to protect the country and it demands a lot. It takes important years from young people, Sometimes the integrity of the body and mind and also life itself. The army does not adapt itself to the masses of seculars who join it at the age of 18, we are not of one piece.
But the army is an army, and it calls you baby.
So come on, show up.
You will have a hard time, like everyone else.

Another fundamental change is the end of discrimination in excess funding of the ultra-orthodox sector.
It is not for nothing that Moshe Gafni is the chairman of the mythical Finance Committee. He sits on the counter Knesset after Knesset, not a shekel passes without his approval, and all for the benefit of the overarching goal of continuing to control the ultra-Orthodox public through the same course of yeshiva studies and not taking a reasonable part in the labor market.
Enough with the assumptions In property taxes, special bus lines for the sector are enough, criteria in government projects tailored to benefit the ultra-Orthodox, such as marriage age and number of brothers and sisters, should be abolished, enough with summer camps subsidized by one hundred shekels when in the neighboring city they pay thousands and more and more benefits unique to the sector at the expense of the general public.
If these proposals arouse opposition in you, Think how much we have become accustomed to discrimination. To the fact that there is a public that is raised from the people, that deserves more at our expense, that we are the ones who are already used to coming up with all the justifications why there can't be equality and why the ultra-Orthodox get special arrangements on any issue.
And now a thought exercise - what would happen if MKs Arabs would ask to pass a law that eases the punishment of the murderers of their sisters and mothers, and say - this is our culture, this is what is important to us, we will not change and you will never understand us.
Would anyone agree to that?
It is clear that learning Torah should not be compared to murder and the example is nothing more than fluff, like those that our ultra-Orthodox brothers excel at.
But just as we will not make a separate system of laws and justice for those for whom the existing system does not suit them, why should we do this in the army, the labor market, education, transportation?
What is the difference actually?
And who will not fit in?
Prepare to pay a price.
Like any secular who doesn't work/Flash 90, Yonatan Zindel
But this is not pragmatic, the opponents and the sober will say.
It will not happen.
Maybe that's true, but we've already tried the path of pragmatism and we see how far it has led us.
Why would it be different this time?
As Einstein famously said - insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
What choice do we have than to change what we have done up until now, and go for an option that may sound impractical, but we already know that we have repeatedly tried the second, "pragmatic" option, and it is a sure and known failure.
What else can we do than return to these rude words - values, ideology, and act not according to a compromise that will destroy our future here but simply according to what is necessary.
We need to do what is right for the country and be strong in our position.
Strong in our belief and commitment to equality.
And they will have to integrate into our world.
It's about them, it's not about us.
We don't need to build adapted frameworks for them in the army and the academy and in the world of work, but they are the ones who will have to make a living and they will have to do it in our world.
Because in our world there is a livelihood, whereas they have not built a parallel world that enables a livelihood, with the exception of one based mostly on taxpayer money - city rabbis (remember Deri's rabbinic law?), kosher keepers, and many jobs in the field of education in the sector, where secular money finances the Those who teach the next generation that will not integrate properly in the world of work.
See the statements of the Budget Division on the subject: "The application of economic sanctions is expected to be effective to an increased extent, since the rate of government transfers from the disposable income of ultra-Orthodox households is high compared to similar populations", meaning that the support component of various types in the income of an ultra-Orthodox household is high compared to the rest.
As if we didn't know.
And who will not fit in?
Prepare to pay a price.
Like any secular person who does not work, or works but does not earn enough for the many needs.
The fact that it sounds strange to us only shows how far we have strayed from basic truths in the name of constant trolling and the attempt to adjust ourselves and on the way to find justifications for an unfair system, which is sinking the country.
Isn't it clear that there should be the same rules for everyone?
Enough crooked compromises.
You have to do what is right, what makes sense, and everyone will have to live with it.
We tried the second way of compromise and consideration, and we know where it leads.
