Recently the Israeli press reported that the Army was falsifying numbers of actual Chareidie recruits, and that the number of recruits from Chareidim was significantly lower than reported.
This was a major scandal here in Israel, because Chilonim were very upset that they were lied to by Army officials ... and they cried, rightfully so, that they are the ones carrying the burden while their Chareidie counterparts are hanging around in the hallways in the Yeshivois smoking and waiting for the Shadchanim to call..
What wasn't reported is that the Satmar Rebbe, R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum was totally taken aback by this news since it took his main argument away about the "atrocities" perpetrated by the Zionist government against Chareidim.
Turns out that his barking at the Zionists on his recent visit, that the Zionists are forcing Yeshivah boys to be conscripted in the army is a bunch of hogwash,, and is just a ploy by the Satmar Rebbe to keep his chassidim in his camp since it's only hate that he can offer them ... to keep them busy ....since everything else is prohibited ...
Chassidim are prohibited from being on the Internet, they are prohibited from engaging in sports, they are prohibited from riding a bicycle, playing board games or even swimming .....
They are going insane from sheer boredom ....
To keep them busy he joined forces with the equally insane Auerbach crazies ... that occupied with organizing protests ... and disrupting the lives of other Chareidim since the protests are in Bnei Brak and the Frum sections of Yerushalayim....
But the press here in Israel is constantly complaining that there are really very few Chareidim in the IDF and that the IDF is covering up the real numbers .....
This news has totally surprised the Satmar Rebbe since this news if it continues will put him out of business........
