I would think that they spend all of their days studying Torah and since Torah is our reason for being, these Ultra-Orthodox men are performing a great service to Israel.
-A Jew, says the Imrei Emes, has only one “profession” and only one business - the Torah. It doesn’t matter whether he’s sitting in the House of Study, at his place of work, or whether he’s buying groceries at the corner store - a Jew is a ben Torah. Just as a doctor is a doctor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the same level of dedication and commitment is expected of a Jew to the Torah.-
—We wish and bestow upon others our greatest and most cherished blessings. Ask any Jew: What’s your greatest blessing in life? “Why, the Torah, no doubt!” If indeed, one truly perceived the Torah as the ultimate blessing, without which his life - even if enriched with material wealth, gezunt, and nachas - would be meaningless, then he would constantly be blessing others with success in their Torah study and fulfillment of the mitzvos.—
-—It is told that the holy Divrei Chaim, Rabbi Chaim of Sanz zt”l, would recite the blessings over the Torah with such beauty and devotion, that his disciples would gather opposite his house, next to the window, in the hope of hearing him. Tears would flow freely from the eyes of those who merited hearing him, as they were overwhelmed with love for the Torah and its study. May we too merit to “engross ourselves in the words of Torah,” taste its sweetness, and plumb its depths. “For it is our lives, and the length of our days, and in it will we toil day and night.”-—

Note to self:
Watch this video every time you hear about the “plot to takeover the world”, every time someone mentions that book “The Thirteenth Tribe” (written by that self-hating, sometimes communist, drug-addled, serial rapist...), and watch it every time a person mentions blood libel.

If the Rambam, Rabbi Moses ben Maimon could be a doctor, the Ultra-Orthodox in Israel can stop committing the chillul Hashem of being welfare cheats and get a job.
