Among the 3,000 set to receive draft orders, only 15 percent are married while 85% are single, the latter of whom will be mostly intended for combat roles. According to the IDF’s data, 50% of the potential troops are aged 18-21, another 40% are between 22 and 23, and just 10% are aged 24-26.
It's not just the numbers. They are giving single men the most dangerous assignments.
Sounds like a population purge in line with the "get rid of the single men" theme I recall Imp mentioning before. All the youngest and most ideologically malleable getting thrown into the grinder, now bereft of whatever future they might have had.
It's not a population purge. As another poster said, the IDF is infamously casualty averse. They just need bodies, and this was an untapped source.
There could be some MGTOW types among them, but their exemption that got overturned was based on them doing "religious studies" instead. They were going to spend their lives reading religious texts that say the goyim are subhuman beasts with no souls. Them finally getting drafted is basically the rest of Israel saying, "yeah, we know the goyim are subhumans now get off your asses and help us kill them." I do wonder what the ratio of genuine religious nutters vs. MGTOW-ish men hiding from the draft is though.

He's a Jew. If he weren't banned, he would be sperging out and defending this with some "no you's" and "muh Hamas" and other assorted hamster logic.
Men who aren't from powerful families are considered as resources to be used by the rulers from powerful families. And if they make it difficult to be used as resources, they are seen as parasites to be excised when too inconvenient.
You can bet almost every son of a politician or oligarch will have a really good excuse for why he can't be drafted.
They have had around 500-600 killed. I haven't found numbers on wounded, but they are presumably higher. There is also burnout and potential escalation to consider.
The IDF is unique in world militaries in that they are extremely averse to casualties, given the small population of Israel. Advancing into Gaza has been costly, comparable to the grueling Fallujah and Sadr City battles in Iraq. The 500-600 KIA that Arch mentioned is a significant number to them. So in other words the line about twenty 9/11s wasn't totally baseless.
Anyone drafted into a war for a cause they don't believe in that also doesn't engage in fragging is a cuck and deserves the fate their sociopathic "leaders" assigned to them.
We'll see if Trump holds up on his promise to not start a war or participate in any wars since he's been trying to court the right wing Jew vote for awhile.
The Haredi are huge welfare queens who live off government gibs. The only reason they had draft exemptions is because their communities have high birthrates. The other Jews tolerated their mooching because they are the best at making more Jew babies, but this has been a contentious issue for them for a long time.
No they're nothing like the Amish - the Amish work hard and provide for their own - the Haredi are the exact opposite - all they do is talk religio-legal shit all day

I mean to be fair, fuck Hamas and Israel.

They really need to draft anyone? Like has ANY IDF planes been shot down since they started this?

You can't keep a drafted soldier forever. You gotta release them and replace them.

I wonder if Mr Ya Ya will draw them into an attrition war.
Bibi needs the bodies to get the West Bank genocide going.
I wish young men would figure out their only enemies in life are the people who force them to fight for worthless wars.

At least they are sacrificing their own citizens for once, rather than ours. This is an improvement for them.
Yep. They will come for our people too, though, especially if things escalate with Iran.
Depends on the Prez.

Wait, these guys sound like they're the Amish of their Jew-state.
Or maybe Amish and a bit of rednecks considering how "Ultra orthodox" they are.
That's fucking sad. You'd figure they'd use them as the vanguard since they've been a thorn to the Israeli government for so long.

They ought to be very confident they're going to heaven and make good shock troops.
Every state in history has drafted its people when deemed necessary. Your position is unrealistic.
A draft is just conscription with a thin veneer of "fairness". Totally random lottery, you see. We're all in this together.
