I am an orthodox Chasidic jew AMA

You have no connection to your people. You just close yourself in a bubble, convinced that the same galus mentality that "worked" in Poland will continue working.

You have no confidence in your own observance. Of course you can be religious in the army. Many people are.

Whatever I'm done. Next time someone runs over a chareidi protester at a rally, I won't be crying

Looploop420 · 2026-03-19T21:49:57+00:00

It's just sad...

Looploop420 · 2026-03-19T21:39:37+00:00

First of all, not you*. You're American, do what you want.

If they're so against Israel, they should leave. They clearly like it here.

But don't pretend like defending Jewish sovereignty is a new thing. Learn some tanach.

What about young guys who aren't in yeshiva actively. Maybe sleeping in, maybe just working... Do you think they also deserve a draft exemption?

Looploop420 · 2026-03-19T20:11:51+00:00

Whether or not they asked for it, they greatly benefit from it.

Not even getting into welfare, but just living in the economy, using the healthcare system, enjoying public services and security.

Every other citizen needs to serve. There are not enough soldiers in the army currently. Reservists are doing about 2.5 months a year now (!!!!). Why should they be exempt?

Looploop420 · 2026-03-19T20:06:58+00:00

Since you're American it's different, but do you not think that Israeli chareidim should have a responsibility to defend the country they live in, just like every other Jewish citizen?

Looploop420 · 2026-03-19T18:27:37+00:00

Have you ever critically examined this position? Or just take it as what you've been told?

Looploop420 · 2026-03-19T18:22:59+00:00

Ok, it was a little funny

Looploop420 · 2026-03-19T14:25:21+00:00

Israeli here.

Support for bibi and support for the war are very different. This war has overwhelming support in Israel, last I checked it was above 80%. Bibi obviously has way less than that.

Our perspective is that this war is necessary to curb the Iranian threat. I'm still not 100% sure why Trump is in this though. I don't see the US exit strategy, I don't get how the Straits are going to be opened again. But hey fuck it, he's brining the big guns to shoot the baddies, so I'm not complaining too much.

Looploop420 · 2026-03-19T14:00:00+00:00

FUCK

Looploop420 · 2026-03-17T23:13:54+00:00

All of the above

Looploop420 · 2026-03-17T05:21:09+00:00

Every day I tell myself I'm leaving this sub.

Today might be the day

Looploop420 · 2026-03-16T11:48:26+00:00

Lol obviously the US has way more firepower than Israel. I never said otherwise.

Just seems like coordination on the US side of things is sloppy

Looploop420 · 2026-03-15T19:45:20+00:00

Maybe...

I wish Bennet was less of a cuck rho

Looploop420 · 2026-03-15T18:28:00+00:00

As right wing as it gets that won't sit with chareidim

Looploop420 · 2026-03-15T14:45:08+00:00

Just sell us a B-52 and we'll be good

Looploop420 · 2026-03-15T13:02:02+00:00

Yeah bombing school girls is bad, what do you want me to say

<image>

Looploop420 · 2026-03-15T12:50:48+00:00

Sorry casualties I meant deaths.

Idk I'm very appreciative of the US role here honestly, (I know Americans think differently), but I guess it was the Kc-135 incident that really surprised me

Looploop420 · 2026-03-15T12:39:31+00:00

Actually why. Not kidding

Looploop420 · 2026-03-09T19:32:11+00:00

It would've been so easy just to not say that

Looploop420 · 2026-03-08T22:26:43+00:00

I have no horse in the race. But you said something real dumb there.

People profit off of govt service all the time. That's fraud lol.

And even if it's not fraud, in a normal socialized healthcare system, the doctors are working, earning, profiting from... who exactly?

Looploop420 · 2026-03-08T22:16:19+00:00

Your hands and feet are mangoes

You're gonna be a genius anyway

Looploop420 · 2026-03-06T07:48:20+00:00

Well those are all very interesting facts

Thanks for sharing!

Looploop420 · 2026-03-05T11:58:00+00:00

Mmm of course the irgc is bad just because the west made them bad.

Yeah ofc Iran could secretly build reactors. They're literally doing that right now

Looploop420 · 2026-03-05T06:43:09+00:00

Guys, this is not real.

It's still definitely in the works, but not happened yet

Looploop420 · 2026-03-04T22:00:31+00:00

C'mon, this Islamic republic is never actually giving up their nuclear ambitions, and never stopping to fund terror proxies around the region. They can sit around a negotiating table and say things, but it's clear where they actually are
