We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Empty threat is empty.

I thought he was condemning the Rabbi that called for the Genocide of all Palestinian babies and women.

8 march 2024 - Israeli rabbi says ‘kill everyone in Gaza, including babies’

Turns out he is condemning the fundies that say they will emigrate if they get drafted. You can't make this up.

Israeli leaders on Saturday and Sunday slammed the Chief Rabbi of Israel’s threat that ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel “will all move abroad” if the government enacts a compulsory draft of religious Jews into the IDF.

This threat doesn't sound terrible for Israel's future. 🤭

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In a post to X on Saturday night, Minister Benny Gantz, the chair of National Unity, joined Lapid in condemning Yosef’s remark.

Yisrael Beytenu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman also voiced his opposition to the rabbi’s declaration.

Liberman, who has been critical of the government in recent weeks, even going so far as to call on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down and for the country to have elections, wrote in a Saturday post on X, “Without duties, there are no rights.

It's a shame that Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef and some other haredim continue to undermine Israel's security and act contrary to Jewish law.”

"Take off your shoes before you speak disparagingly towards the chief rabbi, who expressed a clear and resolute opinion about the tremendous right of Torah scholars who defend the land,” the Sephardic haredi Shas Party declared in a Sunday statement, also alluding to the Hebrew Bible.

“Serving in the IDF is an immense right of a Jew who defends himself in his own land and a great commandment,” the right-wing party said.
