Looks like the Hareidim don’t understand their own scriptures, which foretell the establishment of the State of Israel. A group that sees themselves as orthodox (they are not) and uses the language of the enemy (“Zionist regime” is used by the Islamic terrorists, ultra-leftists and neo-Nazis), never mind being perpetual welfare-addicted seminary students, is not going to garner much sympathy.

Haredim are already serving in the IDF.

Listen up. Anyone who wears a fur hat and 14 layers of black clothing in the Israeli climate obviously has a direct pipeline to Yxxxxh and must be cherished at at all costs.*

As theological proof, I offer the medical fact that wouldn't an ordinary Jew would have sweated to death years ago?

Emigrate, to where?

Lapid’s coalition of individuals is already falling apart, just like his father’s coalition the secular-liberal Shinui party from 1999–2006. 40,000 marched against the new Likud/Lapid coalition, but the brunt of the hatred was towards Lapid’s already failed campaign promises.

The Haredi have made it pretty clear they will outlast and endure any gains by Lapid’s coalition, and simply undo the changes once Lapid loses his coalition to infighting and disillusionment, just like they did when Lapid’s father’s coalition collapsed.

On that point, I support the plan to force Haredi into the IDF/national service, and also to nudge the Haredim Yeshivas to teach actual educational courses to their boys,
