Ultra-Orthodox MK says judges in an ‘all-out war on Judaism’

MK Yisrael Eichler of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party says the High Court’s decision to rule out the continued postponement of a ramped-up draft of Haredi men is eroding the court’s legitimacy.

“The High Court continues to wrap the rope around its oxygen sources and public legitimacy,” he says in a statement.

The judges “proved today that the sole motivation behind its decisions is a dictatorial hunger for power, to oppose the laws of the elected Knesset.

“High Court of Justice judges will bear personal responsibility for the all-out war on Judaism,” he says.
