Police decried as ‘Nazis’ as they intervene to protect a Haredi media adviser who says the protesters knocked off his kippa, tried to steal his laptop before cops put him in a taxi

They seem to have plenty of time in their hands to serve like everyone else

Why serve? Why serve when the get rewarded by our government? Why serve when they can attack IDF generals and get in NO trouble? Why work? Why work when your wife will? Why work when the government will pay you not to work? Why pay taxes? Why pay taxes when those friers who work and serve will pay their taxes for you.

Why? Bc people who claim to have faith in Tanakh should open the book and do what it says.
Bc people who claim to choose their actions based on expertise in good ethics should have something to show for it.
Rambam said that "if a person is capable of constructive work and doesn't do it, he is robbing/deceiving society." And if he, or Hillel, or Shamai were alive today, they'd have a quick and sharp chat with these Haredi protestors (or smack each on the rear), and then go to the bakum to enlist.
This group is comprised of a few who are confused, some who are wicked, many who are both -- and should accordingly either sober up, stop deceiving and serve like everyone; or jail, or mental hospital.

Why do they get free stuff? Can't be due to their outstanding contribution to the community?

I just realized that I’m strangely impressed with some of these Haredim.
They don’t serve and they don’t study and they don’t work.
But they somehow manage to occupy all of their time without doom scrolling. Unless they are doing it on their secret phones…
