"Re-Inventing The Steal:" Tell Congress: Hands Off Of Our Daughters - Repeal Selective Service

November 17, '21 / 13 Kislev, 5782 / Vayishlach

"A sign of an idiot is someone who repeats the same actions - expecting different results." 

(- attributed to A.E.)

We in the United States - now facing the specter of expansion of Selective Service to women - ignore the lessons of the disastrous Israeli female military draft at our own societal peril. Here's a vital summary of the relevant issues, in this Veteran's Day post, edited and posted by Arutz Sheva [on November 14]:

Below are just a few sample articles relevant to sexual abuse and exploitation in the IDF -- from a secular Israeli media source, Israel HaYom. It should go without saying [but sadly needs to be said] that whatever nonsense and iniquity we see coming from the Israeli government or Army does not reflect in any way on Judaism or the Jewish People.  Also realize that whatever news passes Israeli military censors is likely not fully reflective of the full gravity of the actual realia.

1) Reports of sexual assault, harrassment in the IDF up by 24%: 
IDF attributes rise in complaints of sexual assault, sexual harassment to ongoing "collective trauma" caused by the COVID pandemic and says it is working to eradicate such attacks from its ranks.

2) IDF parents claim daughters sexually harassed while serving as lookouts 

In a letter posted on social media, parents of female lookouts of the 636th Battalion describe their base as "an aggressive and violent environment that excludes women and imposes humiliating and disrespectful rules."

3) Sexual harassment victims cannot be ignored over 'inconvenient practices' 

Investigating an anonymous sexual assault complaint has its challenges, but dismissing it from the start due to fear of it being a way to "settle scores" is outrageous and fundamentally wrong.

========================

Clearly, the Israeli military drafting of women has decimated the culture. It's literally stolen away the indescribably magnificent spiritual destiny of generations of Israeli mothers. It's had a pernicious effect on the abortion rate. It's stolen untold numbers of Jewish babies from our People, to the detriment of national security, to which female-draft propagandists pay shallow homage.

In America, let's not allow either Democrats or Republicans* to "reinvent the Steal" here by expanding Selective Service to women, or to enable additional "national emergency" conscription.

Our daughters aren't government property.
