This is not true. Haredi jews were exempt from the draft until last year. And Arabs Muslims or Chrisrians, even if they are citizens, are not drafted at all.
Mandatory or not, a past committing genocide and being taught to see people of a certain nationality as inherently subhuman while going all in on DARVO gaslighting should still exclude you from being in charge of anything related to bigotry and hate speech.
I know a few ex-IDF soldiers. One served from 1967-69 in Records hunting down artwork stolen by the Nazis. Went on to become a professor who taught world literature. Left Israel in the 70s to live and work somewhere more multicultural. Still not someone I’d recommend for this position, but “ex-IDF” covers a lot of people, some of whom might be very qualified for the position.
That’s a different way of saying “TikTok appoints Israeli as its Hate Speech Manager.” IDF service is mandatory.
You can still refuse. You’d have to sit in prison, but that’s worth it at this point
Definitely. But everyone who is alive who has held Israeli citizenship is either an (ick) IDF soldier, or is (like this person) an ex-IDF soldier.
Although that makes me think: do those who have already started rabbinical training also need to do their 2 years?
I’m Israeli, didn’t do military service, knew many people who also didn’t do it.
don’t get me wrong, the IDF wants you to join, but if you don’t want to, they can’t make you

Is it mandatory for woman?
Yes
TIL, thanks
Yeah.

I agree. Is that the case with this person?

Right? Very politically charged title. Death to the IDF and all, but come on.
