The headline of Der Blutah, the Yiddish weekly of the Ahroni faction of the Satmar brothers, reads
"IDF Cuts Off the Beard & Peyois of a Yeminite boy in jail for failing to register for the draft"
I am not sure if the story is even true.......True, that there is an issue with the IDF requirements for recruits to shave when they serve in the IDF! And the Chareidie parties in the Knesset are dealing with the problem. But in this case, the boy wasn't even in the army, he was in jail!
After searching all Israeli newspapers, there is not one shred of evidence, as of this writing, that there is any credibility to the story.
Be that as it may, one thing is certain, that the Satmars in 1977, cut the beard and payos off Chabad Chassidim, just like the Nazis!
That is a fact!
And should this story be true, then the IDF had good teachers .... the Satmar barbarians!
