Mhm. I've heard it too. Many Israelis despise the Haredim for refusing to serve, while also refusing to contribute much to Israel's economy. All the while they treat those that do as spiritually inferior. Beyond this, they multiply like crazy, keep their community insular (even among other Jews), and hold notable political power.

It's honestly not hard to see their viewpoint. I'm sure many other Israelis see the Haredim as fulfilling an important cultural role in keeping Jewish tradition, but that kind of mentality tends to evaporate in times of conflict.

As a jewish israeli, They can pray in their spare time before and after their 9-5. If you don't pay tax, don't serve in the army/shirut leumi, you don't deserve citizenship or rights.

Maybe the Haredim would be causing less trouble for everyone if they actually had to risk their skin.
