In an opinion piece, The Zioneer argues that the Torah Study Basic Law would never have been enacted under a Muslim Brotherhood government, and that Haredi enlistment has reached unprecedented levels in the last three years. The piece criticizes the 'erev rav' (a term for internal enemies) for using enlistment of yeshiva students as a tool against Haredi society.
The Zioneer published an opinion piece addressing the ongoing debate over the Basic Law: Torah Study, which passed its final readings last week (as The Zioneer reported). The piece argues that the law would not have been possible under a Muslim Brotherhood government, implying that the current political situation allows for it. It also claims that Haredi enlistment is rising, contrary to the narrative of widespread evasion. The piece criticizes the 'erev rav' — a term used in Jewish tradition for those who undermine the community from within — for using the issue to attack Haredi society.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the Basic Law's passage and the debate over Haredi enlistment. The opinion piece reflects a viewpoint within the Haredi community that the law is being misrepresented, and that integration is progressing.
The piece does not provide new facts but offers a perspective on the ongoing cultural and political conflict.
