Protesters and counter-protesters rally outside High Court amid hearing on Haredi draft
Activists with the Brothers in Arms protest group demonstrate outside the High Court while inside a hearing is underway on the government’s repeated deferrals in dealing with the issue of drafting Haredim into the IDF.
The protesters hold signs reading “Equal service for all”; “Security = equal service”; and “I served 130 days in the reserves, too.”
A small counter-protest is held across the street with demonstrators holding signs including one that reads “A nation of Israel without Torah has no right to exist.”
