I understand that they are Jewish. [0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=3) I just don't understand why Arabs with Israeli citizenship are entitled to be residents without giving anything, while another sector is required to give, despite the conflict between its beliefs and the matter of the military. [0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=15) By the way, I support drafting everyone, I just want to understand what is happening with Israeli Arabs. [0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=19) Good question. I don't want them to enlist. [0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=21) I said that to Ali Shaaban too. I also don't want them to be security guards at the entrance to a mall or at the entrance to a hotel. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=27) I also don't want them to be doctors. Yes. [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=29) It's like giving them a weapon, and we've already seen what happens. [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=32) Last week, a judge sentenced an Arab doctor at Soroka who planned, who joined ISIS, who planned to poison soldiers, to 27 months in prison and a 15,000-shekel fine, and transferred his case to the Health Ministry for review on whether to revoke his medical license. [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=50) Where do we live? This is the mindset of these apologetic judges, a mindset of being guests in our land. [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=58) By the way, identity-wise, they are in the land of Pashṭar. [0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=59) This Arab is the noble savage, he belongs here, we came to his land. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=63) Yes. You can understand him even then, but you can't give him anything. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=67) Someone who threw a shoe at a judge got three years. [1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=69) Rightly so, incidentally. I don't— I think that nowadays, it's terrible to throw a shoe at a judge. [1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=72) You have to respect a judge in court. What is this? But look, look at this. [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=76) What, should he spend his whole life in prison? [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=79) But to her question, wait, let me finish answering that question. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=82) I, I’ll answer that in a moment. But to the question of the— To the questioner's question, then why do you exempt them? [1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=89) So first of all, because I certainly won't, won't agree that they be in se-se-security positions in Israel. [1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=94) Why are there Druze? There are, uh— Who? So I'll tell you where the point is. [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=99) How would you distinguish that? Yes, it's good that we're clarifying the matter. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=103) It goes back to the point where we started. [1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=104) The State of Israel is a Jewish state, period, whose regime is democratic, this country is everyone's private home, of everyone who is loyal to it, A Jew, an Arab, they live here in absolute equality and with equal rights. [1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=116) Absolute. As a— How do you distinguish that? [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=117) As an individual, wait, as an individual, but it is the national home, not the private one, the national home only of the Jewish people. You have no aspirations for any kind of cultural autonomy, or whatever you call it, and all sorts of other bullshit. [2:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=128) Okay, Jewish. Period. That way, you'll enlist in the army, be a doctor, be anything. [2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=134) How do you distinguish it? But if you aren't, do you sing, "A Jewish soul yearns," or, "An Israeli soul yearns"? [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=141) You sing "Hatikvah." Do you even learn "Hatikvah"? [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=143) You sing "Hatikvah." Do you put an Israeli flag up in your village? [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gPVqKwbsxqeT/en/arab-and-haredi-military-service-loyalty-and-equality-in-israel?t=147) It's very simple.
