Chareidim Distribute Cartoon, Depicting IDF Soldier as a Pig holding a Gemarrah


Had a great Yom Tov? 
Well guess what the Tzaddikim in Yerusalyim Ir Hakodesh, were decorating the Sukkas with? 
Yes! A Cartoon depicting an IDF Soldier as a pig holding a gemarrah!
Yes, guys, continue supporting the Yerushalyim Schnorrers that come to your door, let them tell you that the ones distributing the cartoon are a lunatic fringe group.....
 I don't buy it!

And now, Hamas, yes Hamas, copied the cartoon and is tweeting it!

Nice job, Chareidim! Kiddush Hashem!?


A caricature of an Israeli soldier in the pig's head and holding a copy of the Talmud in his hands was distributed in the streets of Jerusalem by ultra-Orthodox Jews to denounce the law on compulsory conscription in Israel.
A Twitter account affiliated with Hamas has also posted Saturday the caricature on the social network.
The illustration is intended to ridicule the ultra-Orthodox Jews who have joined the ranks of the Israeli army, by treating them as pigs that corrupt religion.
The caricature of the soldier-pig is shown bragging in the text saying "They sent me to confuse the boys in yeshivas and dry out their soul,". It continues on to say "I fool them with the slogans of the Gemara (religious text, note), but in fact I am something completely different.”
Three small children, dressed in religious garb, pointing their fingers, are shown laughing at the uniformed soldier carrying a machine gun on the back "look at his ears” one child says, “like a hyena."
The second child is shown saying “I actually think it’s a fox, look at its smile”
“I’m telling you that it’s ‘something else entirely, look at its nose and look at what it has in its pocket,” the third child says.
An older man in a black suit is shown running away, presumably because he is old enough to be drafted into the army.
The posters were pasted on walls in some of Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods earlier this week.

More Chareidim are Entering the IDF

Despite a predicted sharp decline in the number of chareidim entering the IDF due to the chareidi draft efforts, data presented to a ministerial committee shows otherwise. 

According to the numbers presented to a ministerial committee on Sunday 12 Elul, there is a 39% increase in the number of chareidim entering the IDF.

In 2013-2014 a total of 1,972 chareidim entered the IDF while the goal for the year was set at 2,000. For the sake of comparison, 1,416 chareidim entered the IDF in the year earlier (2012-2013) and 1,327 a year before that (2011-2012).


11,000 chareidim reported to the chareidi induction center and received a draft deferment and they were referred to programs offered by the Ministry of the Economy to bring them into the workplace.

The civilian service program failed, with only 801 chareidim opting for service instead of the IDF. This number is a far cry from the predictions from government officials.

Of the inductees in 2013-2014; 863 entered combat units and the IDF is now setting up Tamar, a unique combat training for chareidim that will not be part of Nachal Chareidi but the Givati Brigade. 

The new option is aimed at increasing the options for chareidim entering the IDF wishing to become combatants.

Committee Chair MK (Yesh Atid) Yaakov Peri told his colleagues the new chareidi draft law is paving the way to the integration of the chareidi community into mainstream society. He added “today, just 14 months following committee approval and 5 months following Knesset approval I am pleased to say that we are witness to the beginning of a social revolution”.
