Don't Be A Worrier, Be A WARRIOR: Who’s Protecting Who? The Haredi Draft Showdown
This week on The Weekly Squeeze, I’m coming in hot, coffee in one hand, conviction in the other, and Jerusalem on fire.
The streets are packed. Tens of thousands of Haredim in black hats, blocking traffic, waving signs, shouting that the draft is a “war on the Torah world.” Reporters got attacked, cars stuck for hours, the whole city gridlocked, and everyone’s asking the same question: who’s actually protecting who here?
Because this isn’t just another protest. This is the fight over Israel’s soul. The Haredi world says Torah study protects us spiritually. The rest of the country says, “Yeah, but someone has to pick up a weapon too.” Both believe they’re defending Israel, they just live in two completely different Israels.
We’re going to talk about the fear behind the fury, the faith behind the defiance, and why this argument isn’t really about uniforms. It’s about what it means to belong to a Jewish country and what happens when unity starts to crack.
And yes, we’ll get into the wild things being said from the podiums, the coalition drama that’s brewing, and the uncomfortable truth about sacred study turning into sacred entitlement.
Israel is fighting a war on the outside and an identity crisis on the inside, and we’re going there.
It’s heated, it’s emotional, and it’s very, very Israeli.
