Anti-Haredi fundamentalism
When I read the rabbi's articles on Haredim, I feel quite a bit that you treat them exactly like leftists treat Ben Gvir and vice versa, that is, not in a matter-of-fact manner but rather "they are so stupid that it is impossible to begin to consider their claims."
Instead of trying to understand where they are coming from, as you do with secularists and leftists, you don't consider from the outset that there might be something to their claim.
On the question of conscription, for example (which is really the crux of the discussion about Haredim), I've never seen you say that maybe the state is also a little to blame for this. I also agree that the Haredim should conscript, it's not black and white. After all, since the establishment of the state, the secularists in the state have been trying to use the army as a melting pot so that everyone will think like them. This is expressed today in small things, for example, women serving in the Seder yeshivas conscription, and all sorts of other things like that.
The Haredim are asking for a pure place for religion, and the army is not giving them that (with the Hasmonaean Brigade, perhaps it is already heading in the right direction, and Haredim are indeed starting to enlist a little). I don't remember the name, but about 15 years ago they opened up the possibility for Haredim to enlist and they had a separate base, etc. In the end, the Ombudsman canceled it because she said that a separate base is not egalitarian.
Besides, the rabbi's attitude is that it's better to put the Haredim in prison because no one will enlist anyway. There's already some Haredim enlisting, and when they arrested three Haredim guys, it only made it go down, not up.
I'm a religious Zionist and in the end I think we should still enlist, but you can't approach this issue as a black and white thing.
