The law of the kingdom regarding the enlistment of Haredim
Question
As the Rabbi wrote, there is no rule of “the law of the kingdom is law” in a place where the law discriminates between sectors, and this is called “the law of extortion.”
If so, Israeli law exempts Arabs from service, so there is no “the law of the kingdom is law” here at all,
and from that standpoint no one is actually obligated to enlist (from the standpoint of “the law of the kingdom is law”).
Answer
I debated whether to delete this idiotic question, but I’ll leave it here for eternal disgrace, since foolish Haredim keep repeating this nonsense again and again. About this it was said: “My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with bigger whips.”
There are enough reasons to enlist. You don’t also need “the law of the kingdom is law” for that.
