Opinion and Comment
The IDF Ejects all Jewish Moral Standards

by Rabbi Yitzchok Roth


3

The head of the preparatory army school Bnei David in the settlement of Eli, Rabbi Yigal Levinstein, has come out acerbically against the High Court directive obligating the army to include women in the armored forces.

He tells that the army has already made many attempts to introduce women into its ranks but these failed after it became apparent that women are incapable of standing up to the standard regimen required of the men. Simply stated, women are not physically fit serve in such positions.

But this does not interest the High Court in the least. If the army requirement is too high for women, that level should simply be lowered, and if this means that the army will become less professional, less qualified, it makes no difference to the High Court vis-a-vis its goal of destroying every Jewish value and ethic under the dictum of equality.

The administrator of the prep school says that graduates of the National Religious institutions were excluded from serving in the artillery corps because of the court's orders and were also removed from serving in field intelligence. Now, too, they are on the way of being removed from the ranks of the armored forces as well.

The army heads simply do not dare to tell the High Court the simple truth that their directives are very detrimental to army efficiency lest they be accused of the "severe" crime of women discrimination. Any commander who dares utter this simple truth is earmarked forever more even when he completes his army duty.

And so, the army simply bows its head in compliance to the shots called by the High Court, even if this be at the cost of lowering the army efficiency standard alongside that of eliminating the 'knitted kipah' soldiers from many army divisions.

The court judges are attempting to introduce their defective ideology into every nook and cranny, when the biological fact that Hashem created the world with two kinds of people, altogether different in essence, simply does not exist in their outlook.

And then, they will go and tell us that the army "desires the chareidim" within its ranks, when even the knitted kipah wearers who believe in army service as an exalted value, are excluded from service in many army areas. It consistently removes such soldiers from more and more areas of service so that even they do not find their place within the army ranks.

"To the glory of the Jewish State" and in honor of the independence celebrations - we forgot to say...
