This is what I don’t quite get about the Israelian society: Right-wing parties and religious nationalists are the ones waging war while keeping a big chunk of their main voter base out of the military draft … so effecitvely the less religious groups are punished by both policy an military duty. And they just roll with it (saying there’s isn’t sufficent resistance to change the anything)?
There’s always a privileged group, John Fogerty’s song “Fortunate Son” spoke to this about the Vietnam draft even then the likes of Muhamad Ali oushed back. There’s some push back in Israel but not much
They can find ground with the non conservatives to push this through but after that, their coalition if hate seems likely to fall apart
Similarly in Russia now… but Israel is its own fucked up peculiarity
I can definitely understand sane young Israeli men fucking off overseas to escape the insanity

They are so brainwashed that they hate arab children more than the conservatives who send them to war and live of welfare.
Right wingers over there see them as doing the important duty of praying for the country. a valuable service.
it’s a very sick society.
But the IOF is at it’s breaking point, so hopefully it all collapses soon.
