#Haredim
Well
If anyone trusts evangelical Christians, it's Haredim in Israel

BWAHAHAHA
Reporting in Israel that US ambassador to Israel, Huckabee is trying to convince ultra orthodox leaders not to dissolve Netanyahu’s government. The argument: government stability is crucial for dealing with Iran.

The exemption for Haredim skipping the draft goes back to a deal Ben Gurion struck with the Haredim shortly after the rebirth of Jewish statehood.

There were 400 men in yeshivot when Ben Gurion struck the deal.

Today there are roughly 60,000 Haredim who are of conscription age.

The whole "Haredim are inbred" thing, practically, comes from Nazis collecting and posting Haredim (mostly Hasidic kids needing dental work) whom they consider ugly, for laughs.

An ex-mutual on Twitter made this clear when he called the hilltop youth (execrable in many ways) "inbred" because...

Uncritical support for the Haredim in this, not gonna lie
Per the Haredi Ashkenazi UTJ (United Torah Judaism) party, decision has been made to dissolve parliament. Shas (their Sephardi counterpart) has now stated the same publicly.

Bibi (שר"י) is still trying to save it last minute. Will see. Most likely the government will fall next week.
Don't have time to translate all of it, but the gist is that the Israeli government is on the verge of collapsing.

The Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) parties are threatening (well, a bit more than just threats by now), to vote for the dissolution of the government over the military draft exemption law.

Again, to restate: the parties of the Religious Zionists will enthusiastically back conscription of Haredim. Haredim will not.

haredim = salty ol' sea dog scallywags

Can I punch a Haredim who is bullying a lone young woman or is that doing an antisemitism

Note some Haredim backed Mamdani

Dass die von den Haredim über Jahrzehnte erpressten Sonderrechte insbesondere im Wehrdienst die Achillessehne der Netanyahu-Koalition sind, gefällt mir. 🍿

there are not a lot of Jews in Washington and nearly no Haredim.

"kinda dumb guy with basic Evergreen undergrad politics from the early 2000s" is fully explanatory for Macklemore, in this as in all other things, and does not require antisemitism.

unbelievably good bit for Netanyahu to survive the Haredim enlistment crisis for this to happen hours later
If this is accurate we are talking a historic intelligence failure. Israeli nuclear plans compromised, like two dozen high ranking spies and their contacts all compromised.

It makes sense that the U.S. et al are preparing for an Israeli counter strike.

we on the left should support the moderate haredim in their struggle for religious freedom
Iran is more culturally irreligious than it's ever been, the morality police are mostly abolished, and increasingly the country is run by a group of ice-chewing militarists.

Israel on the other hand is barreling towards velayet-e faqih-style Ben Gvirist theocracy.

Doesn't help that it's also much more ethnically and religiously internally divided than the US--and in particular the failure to integrate Haredim and Arab-Israelis is only going to bite harder and harder over time.

it's cool how this, too, is basically white american liberals being unable to conceive of anything in the world that isn't an analogue to america. haredim =/= datiim leumi
Not all Israelis. Only the far-right religious wing nuts who believe all of Israel is theirs and also that they should be paid to stay home and study Talmud and not have to do military service after high school like all other male and female Israelis must do. New leadership is needed!
After watching Israel’s Actions over many years, I have Come to believe You’re Right. Like a Corrupted Trump who loves Money, there is Netanyahu voted in by Israel Voters who love stealing Territory. 👏👏👍🇺🇸😎

Ok guys look I know this is really complex but at this juncture it is probably time to learn the difference between Haredim and Religious Zionists.
March 28, 2024 at 7:07 PM
I’m a lot more sympathetic to the approach when it’s the gay community than when it’s Mennonites or haredim or whatever evangelical cult doesn’t vax, I guess

Yes, the Haredim, famously wealthy in Israel.

Fool and mah-yufis @aussiedamo.bsky.social

A reminder that some things in Israel are not about The Salient Issue, hating Haredim and Haredim hating the people who hate Haredim is *also* politics that "didn't begin in 1948"

- Despite concerns over Haredi conscription, Haredim remain in government
- with the right wing and the Haredim, the budget was passed, ensuring at least another year in power, and blocking the most straightforward route to early elections

why did it have to be haredim
February 26, 2026 at 6:53 PM
"The way Haredi communities treat women and lgbtq+ people is horrific and medieval" - true, correct

"Haredim are why Palestine remains occupied" - what, no, what the fuck

The only way to teach some people manners is an ass-kicking, and like, contrary to popular belief, Haredim can fight.
