Hiddush NGO pan draft bill, criminal sanctions
Hiddush, a nonprofit advocating greater separation of religion and state, releases a statement criticizing the proposed enlistment legislation that includes criminal sanctions for draft evaders.
“The success of the protest is probably the most important achievement that can be credited to Yesh Atid’s failed bill, under which thousands of yeshiva students would be arrested. This bill, which will clearly not bring about the conscription of even one Haredi yeshiva student, marks record efficiency in at least one area: in increasing Haredi outrage,” Hiddush writes.
