For some reason, I don't seem to be able to reply to the comments a the end of my previous post. So, I will respond here.
My grandmother lost her entire family to The Selektzia - the one which a certain "few crazies" have decided to compare the Israeli Draft to.
My grandmother proudly displays a photograph of her oldest great-grandson in kipa, tzitzit and IDF uniform, as her personal answer to that Selektzia.
DB pointed out that one cannot draw conclusions about the entire hareidi community based oan poster put up by a "few crazies". That is true. But one CAN AND MUST draw conclusions based on what an entire community will not remove from its midst.
In neighbourhoods in which an Israeli car-flag is removed from parked cars within minutes, it is a strong statement when no one ever tears down posters comparing the Israeli Draft to Selektzia , as well as posters in three languages stating "Jews hate Zionists" and other love letters. The tolerance of this hatred, when tearing the posters down is so easy and natural, is a statement made by the general hareidi population.
