An open letter to Deri / Hanoch Daum
מכתב פתוח לדרעי / חנוך דאום
Summary
In an open letter to ultra-Orthodox political leader Aryeh Deri, columnist Hanoch Daum protests military conscription inequality, writing: 'Understand, dear Aryeh, we will no longer accept a situation in which you send our children into battle while your grandchildren are draft-dodgers.' The letter sharpens the dispute over the exemption of Haredi men from army service. It reflects deepening Israeli tensions over who bears the burden of military duty.
