The biggest issue I’ve heard is resentment—since the Ultra-Orthodox refuse to fight in the military—saying they must study the law. Kind of ridiculous, if you ask me.

Ultra-Orthodox typically means strict adherence to the Holy Book. In this case the Old Testament / Torah.

So, since the old books are replete with the Jewish people fighting in wars I’ve often wondered how they come to this position. How do they justify it?

Isralis are sick of it. They stidy the talmud all day, mooch off the gpvernment, and refuse to go into the army.

The resentment isn’t that they refuse to fight but that service is mandatory for everyone else. We don’t resent the Amish but some might if there was a draft.
