זרקנו את המניה שלנו לפח - יעקב מרגי לאבי בלום

I know I was right throughout this whole time when I said we needed to talk about the fact that anyone who doesn't study must enlist. It should have been said. We took a stock that we had at the beginning of the war—the Haredi public was appreciated, the rabbis were truly appreciated—we took that stock and threw it on the floor. I remember Rabbi Yitzhak as Chief Rabbi wandering through every IDF base. We threw, we threw that stock on the floor and stepped on it forcefully. I think, and don't get me wrong, I believe that even the rabbis who said unequivocally that they shouldn't enlist—even those who don't study— said it because of the heavy, aggressive, and violent pressure of the Haredi street. Because deep down, we saw, we saw the great ones, they know better than us what is happening on the Haredi street with those who don't study. What happens in the yeshivas with those who don't study? They are not an asset. Therefore, we had to do everything to bring them to a position to say, to say this statement. Not necessarily that they would all show up and enlist, but at least the public wanted to hear, wanted to hear our rabbis say that whoever doesn't study should enlist. Even that they didn't manage to do. I think that if the Rabbi was in this period, he would have said, "Go in this strength of yours and do not fear." I don't need to say anything; he said, he said explicitly, he said things explicitly. Rabbi Chenman said things in an explicit way. Rabbi Shach said. Rabbi Shach said, he said it in an even more, even more extreme way. I don't need to apologize for this opinion; I think it is right, it is right for the army, it is right for society, for Haredi society, and it is right, do you know for whom else? For all the hypocritical Knesset members who did their work deceitfully, who attacked the enlistment law with all sorts of labels— "the draft-dodging law." I didn't hear them complaining about the fact that the army isn't drafting.
