Another chareidi soldier has complained of being singled out
for being a soldier in the IDF. He explains that while walking with family
members in Bnei Brak, he became the victim of verbal assault for serving in the
military.
He is quoted by Kikar Shabbat saying “I feel uncomfortable walking
around in uniform in Bnei Brak” but he is compelled to do so in line with IDF
regulations. Officials in the IDF Intelligence Corps are considering revising
regulations to accommodate chareidi soldiers due to incidents such as this one.
The soldier reports it was especially embarrassing for him
that he children were witness to the ugly words leveled at him.
Officials in the Intelligence Corps last week told members
of the chareidi media that in all likelihood they will permit soldiers from the
chareidi sector to travel in civilian clothes instead of a uniform to avoid
such occurrences. In the meantime, the campaign against ‘chardakim’ continues.
