Who is a “haredim” and why are they not not integrated into the armed forces? The haredim are the various "ultra conservative" or orthodox Jewish sects. They tend to reject all things secular and try to strictly observe the Torah.

Who is a “haredim” and why are they not not integrated into the armed forces? The "ultra orthodox", besides not serving in the military, also tend to use Israel's welfare system to support themselves while spending their days engaged in Torah studies. NY Times, 60 percent of the haredim men do not work. Israel also spends a lot of money subsidizing their seminaries.
Since their Shas Party has long held the balance of power between the right and left, they were able to get lots of goodies.
