MK Avi Maoz, head of the Noam party, charged that the Israel Defense Forces are not genuinely interested in drafting chareidim in a way that allows them to complete their service while fully maintaining their religious identity.
Maoz made the remarks during an interview at the Kikar Hashabbat studio, with the full conversation set to air later tonight.
Maoz argued that the military has failed to create an environment that preserves the lifestyle and standards of chareidi recruits. “I think that the army is not doing what it needs to do so that a chareidi can enlist as a chareidi and also leave as a chareidi while preserving his way of life,” he said.
He explained that the core issue, in his view, is the lack of formalized protections. “Since the army does not anchor the service conditions of chareidim in IDF regulations, I am waiting for the army to anchor the chareidi service conditions in IDF regulations. Only then will I know that the army really wants to draft them so that they will be fighters and not in order to put them through the IDF melting pot to educate them anew.”
Maoz said his conclusion comes after a long period of evaluation. “I, to my great sorrow, and I say this after a long time, the army does not really want to draft the chareidim and have them also leave as chareidim.”

Precisely the reason that Gedolei Yisroel are so adamantly against joining the army.
He is correct. They want the army to destroy their passion for Torah.
“Maoz said his conclusion comes after a long period of evaluation. “I, to my great sorrow, and I say this after a long time, the army does not really want to draft the chareidim and have them also leave as chareidim.””
Their first leader, David Green (AKA “Ben-Gurion”), said the same. That was always the point of drafting the Jews, and also part of the reason they insist on drafting women too.
The whole Zionist culture was founded to be like all the other nations of the world. Whatever the secular atheistic western world does becomes an idealistic way of life to the founding zionists as well as the ones today. Notice how many people keep dogs as pets in Tel Aviv. Notice how many tattoo shops there are in Israel. Notice how many millions the government spends to teach and parade the toeiva gay parades in every major Israeli city. Notice the million Israeli Jewish kids in public school are not thought Torah. Everything is done to eradicate Jewish life. Hard to find a kosher restaurant in some Israeli major cities. Everything is like the reform did to the Jews in America who are going lost.
