MK Yitzchok Pindrus of United Torah Judaism commented on the ongoing incitement towards the charedi public in recent weeks, telling Arutz Sheva in an interview that the claims against the charedim are nothing more than fake news, the entire purpose of which is to defame his public.
On the claim that the conduct of the charedi public creates a heavy financial burden on the rest of society that pays taxes in Israel, Pindrus said, “Do you know of tax increases because of students of Torah? I don’t know of any. I don’t know charedim who pay less taxes. These are irrelevant questions.”
The issue of the army draft, which also comes up these days, is an issue that has existed in the social discourse in Israel since the establishment of the state, he noted. “This is an issue that has existed for 74 years and it will continue to exist. It is not going to change in the new government. The Supreme Court assigned the issue to the Knesset and it will be dealt with in the Knesset. The Supreme Court ruled that the law will expire by March.”
