Ben-Dahan opposes free pass for pork-eating soldier
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDeputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan (Jewish Home) opposes the cancellation of penalties against an IDF soldier who ate a pork sandwich, in violation of the army’s kashrut regulations.
“The IDF’s orders are clear and maintain that in the army of the Jewish people, secular, religious, traditional and Haredi soldiers eat kosher food,” he writes on Twitter. “Violating the IDF’s orders, in this as in any other issue, carries a punishment… It’s a slippery slope. Today, some IDF orders are rejected, and tomorrow others are. We cannot agree to any sort of belittling of [army] orders.”
