MK Rabbi Meir Porush Warns That Israel "Won't Be Our Home" If Draft Movement Persists

Jerusalem - During a recent meeting with the French Ambassador to Israel, Christopher Bidot, Haredi MK Meir Porush (Yahadut Hatorah) warned that if haredis are forced into IDF service, then many Jews will no longer view Israel as a national home, and that it will have “far reaching consequences.”

ARUTZ SHEVA  Reports that, during the conversation, Porush reminded Bidot of Israel’s first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion’s “declaration” that Israel is the “national homeland” of every Jew, and reiterated Ben-Gurion’s promise to haredi religious leaders that he would “respect” their “way of life.”

Porush said haredis will “declare” and let the “whole world know” that Israel is “not the home” of those who keep the Torah.
