There are those that do and give, and those that don’t and take.

My name is Tuvia Book.  I am a reservist in a combat medical extraction unit (Palmar) on the Gaza front.  I’ve served now hundreds of days of reserves (Milluim) over the past twenty-one months since the Swords of Iron war started.  And yet, there are tens of thousands of people in this country who do not serve.  They don’t serve compulsory service, and they don’t serve in the reserves.

I am talking about the Haredim, the ultra-orthodox Jews in this country.  It’s no secret, the IDF are short now about 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers every year just to fulfil the missions that are on the table today.  Never mind what........
