Dear Doves,

“Hundreds of thousands are expected to demonstrate Sunday evening against government plans to draft the ultra-Orthodox into the army and enforce criminal sanctions on draft dodgers.

Ultra-Orthodox men have long been exempted from army service to pursue religious study, but Israel's center-left government has been pushing for a more equal share of the compulsory national military service.”
