Avigdor Liberman: Those who don’t serve in IDF shouldn’t be allowed to vote

Entering his Yisrael Beytenu party’s weekly faction meeting in the Knesset with a ballot box, chairman Avigdor Liberman declares that anybody who does not serve in the IDF should not be allowed to vote.
“Those who do not enlist do not vote,” he declares, only moments after lawmakers finish a contentious discussion in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee dealing with the issue of ultra-Orthodox military conscription.
