'SHAME', Netanyahu Heckled In Knesset As Israel Exempts Ultra-Orthodox From Military Arrest!

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced loud heckling and repeated chants of "Shame!" from opposition lawmakers in the Knesset on Tuesday as Israel's parliament debated and passed a bill temporarily shielding ultra-Orthodox Haredi Jews who refuse military enlistment from arrest and prosecution — a deeply divisive measure that exempts one of Israel's largest and fastest-growing communities from compulsory military service at a moment when the country is actively at war in Gaza and Israeli reservists are being called up for repeated tours of duty. The bill, which effectively defies a previous Israeli Supreme Court ruling that deemed ultra-Orthodox draft exemptions unconstitutional, is widely seen as a political payment by Netanyahu to the ultra-Orthodox parties whose support keeps his coalition government in power — with opposition lawmakers arguing that the legislation creates a two-tier system in which some Israelis fight and die while others are legally protected from even the threat of arrest for refusing to serve, deepening a social fracture that has been widening throughout the Gaza conflict and drawing the sharpest parliamentary confrontation Netanyahu has faced in months.
