"They have mandatory military service and basically the whole country has to fight their wars."
Nope.
Many Orthodox whom Bi bi partnered with to get 30 something % of vote to become PM again, DOES NOT go into the military service.
"Most Jewish men are required to serve nearly three years in the military, followed by years of reserve duty. Jewish women serve two mandatory years.
But the politically powerful ultra-Orthodox, who make up roughly 13% of Israel’s population, have traditionally received exemptions from the military while studying full-time in religious seminaries, or yeshivas.
The religious exemption dates back to Israel’s founding 80 years ago, a compromise the country’s first prime minister, David Ben Gurion, made with ultra-Orthodox leaders to allow some 400 Jewish seminary students to devote themselves fully to Torah study.
The significant growth of the ultra-Orthodox population since then has made the exemption a hugely divisive issue to Israeli society. Some 66,000 enlistment age men currently study in seminaries."
