The Haredim are travelling in such convoys across the country, intentionally blocking traffic to protest people from their communities being arrested for ignoring draft orders. June 24, 2026. Credit: Yoav Dudkevitch/TPS-IL
THIS KIND OF SELFISH BEHAVIOUR WILL ONLY GIVE THE HAREDI A WORSE REPUTATION. THEY TAKE EVERYTHING FROM THE STATE AND GIVE BACK NOTHING. OTHER MOTHERS’ SONS ARE EXPECTED TO DIE FOR THEM. TO TRY TO RUIN OTHER PEOPLES’ LIVES ON A DAILY BASIS WHEN THEY ARE PROVIDING THE TAXES FOR THE HAREDI TO LIVE ON WELFARE IS DESPICABLE.
