Jerusalem – A well known figure in the world of Jewish outreach blasted the Israeli army today, saying that the inclusion of women in an increasingly larger number of combat roles has only one purpose: weakening the religious commitment of Charedi soldiers.

Speaking to an audience in Ashkelon, Rabbi Yitzchak noted that the IDF plans to have male and female soldiers working closely together around the clock.
“The women will be in tanks with the men and they will patrol together,” said Rabbi Yitzchak. “Everything will be together, men and women. They will take showers together. Equality! Equality!”
Rabbi Yitzchak referenced a clip of IDF soldiers engaged in a training exercise that had participants scaling a wall. Male soldiers can be seen clambering up over the wall, while their female counterparts were able to use a bench placed at the bottom of the wall to help them perform the drill.
“My goodness, it is the army of Mickey Mouse,” said Rabbi Yitzchak. “What do you think, a Chamasnik who is shooting at soldiers is going to say, ‘Everybody wait a minute. That is a female soldier. Wait until she passes by and then you can start shooting again?’”
Including women in men’s platoons is clearly intended to secularize Charedi soldiers, who are being forced to enter the army in greater numbers, explained Rabbi Yitzchak.
“They don’t want there to be a Jewish religion,” said Rabbi Yitzchak. “It is very simple.”
The notion that the IDF is making its decisions based on equality seems unlikely, according to Rabbi Yitzchak, who noted that men and women have always been segregated in sports because of their different physical abilities.
“Why is no one demanding equality in soccer, basketball or volleyball?” asked Rabbi Yitzchak. “Because there are no Charedim there. There it is all secular Jews. But when there are Charedim? There, if we don’t include women we are guilty of exclusion. Equality? Equality? What liars they are.”
Emes!!!
He’s 100% correct!
Torah is emes!
This “Mickey Mouse” army has kept us safe for decades. Take your head out of the sand, Rabbi, & show some respect & Hakoret Hatov.
Someone is waking up from a deep slumber. The IDF is a army desecrating Hashems name every minute of its existence. Females are totally forbidden to serve in the army. There are NO heteirim anywhere! Dunno if mickey mouse is the name but despicable for sure is. Equality! Sad beyond measure.
Dear Sir without that army Israel would be another arab country, and Israel would be void of Jews. Look around how many Jews do you think are in those arab countries surrounding Israel. The people who pray all day should be thankful to the army and Hashem that these people exist so you can pray safely. As one person put it as he talked to the arab countries where are your Jews, they were once there, do you want them to say that about Israel too??
Does this article have an author or a source? And who’s “Rabbi Yitzchak”? Is that his first name? His last name? At least some of your readers want to know. Or should we just stop looking for reliable Jewish news here?
I guess it was better when in Birkenau frime, nisht frime , apikorsim were pushed in the gas chamber and inhaled zyklon B. Small children pushed their nails in the skin of their mothers and the Kanada could not separate them. Rabbi Goren a’h blew the shofar when Israeli Paratrooper concurred Yerushalayim. Shame on you for not serving in the Zahal. Each one of you are parasites. Many Yidden lost their lives inn the fight for yerushalayim. You sit there be’sholem and b’shalve and post that garbage. Better be upset when boys are molested by their heilige Rebbes
So many Zionists on here, and so many lies and errors…
The Rabbi is 1000% correct that the Zionists do not want a Jewish religion. The purpose of Zionism always was is to change the Jewish people from a faith-based people to a secular and gentile land-based “Hebrew” people. That is the entire purpose of Zionism and, therefore, Israel.
As Rav Chaim Brisker famously remarked even before WW II, people think that the Zionists shmad in order to get a State. But it is the opposite: the Zionists need a State in order to shmad. If you don’t understand that, then you have zero understanding of Zionism.
Regarding the nonsense about the army keeping everyone safe (which is anyways kefirah, as Hashem runs the world, not any army): this brings to mind the Chazon Ish’s words to, lihavdil, David BG, the first Zionist leader. The Chazon Ish told him that if not for Zionism and his state then there would have been no need for his army. The Zionists need their army only because they invaded Eretz Yisrael, fighting the Arab world in so doing. Jews lived there (and at peace with their Arab neighbors there, too) long before the Zionists started up over a century ago, and never needed an army.
Facts.
His name is HaRav Amnon Yizchok.
He a Teimene. Not Chasidish. Not sfardish. Yemen was a unique Jewish community.
He did serve in tzahal.
He is a university educated attorney.
He is one of the most successful kiruv Rabonim in Eretz Yisroel.
More facts.
The m4, m16, tavor, are all state of the art infantry weapons.
The Iron Dome , and other defensive weapons designed, built and used by the IDF are best in the world.
The Dolphin class submarines that Israel uses are built in Germany to the highest standards with excellent results and safety records.
F16, F35 fighter plains, appache helicopters. All top shelf equipment.
If people want to criticize tzahal it should be based on facts.
Yes, their uniforms are really ugly.
With all the enemies we have today, including the white supremacists in the USA, you would think all Jews would unite in self preservation and self defense. But this person and his emasculated followers are only interested in preserving their group, not Klal Yisroel. The IDF protects all Yidden, but (most) charedi spit on the IDF.
