>>where you can't remove yourself from doing something you feel unjust?

They aren't skipping conscription because they think it's unjust, they are skipping it because they say they want to study religious scripts instead. And in fact if you wanted to use that excuse to skip military service you wouldn't be able to without being part of a certain group beforehand. Now the court is removing that exception.

I suspect you're being downvoted because you are demonstrating a lack of understanding of the political situation in Israel. The governing party in Israel has been propped up by ultra-orthodox parties that have no skin in the game because they and their families are exempt from the draft. Far from being conscientious objectors, the ultra-orthodox have enabled and supported the current situation without suffering the consequences of it.

You’re not downvoted because of “hasbara bots”. You’re downvoted because your comment is nonsense.
