Israel’s military is weighing a plan to enlist Jewish youth from abroad to offset what officials describe as a severe shortage of soldiers, Army Radio reported Monday.

The broadcaster said the army is exploring outreach to Jewish communities in the diaspora to convince young people to join its ranks.

The move comes as the military struggles with a shortfall of 10,000 to 12,000 troops, driven largely by the refusal of ultra-Orthodox Jews, or Haredim, to serve.

we need a public inquiry into Jewish Schools and their grooming of Jewish kids into support for the genocidal ideology of Zionism. But it’s not only schools, even nurseries are involved, run by genocidal cults like Chabad and other Hasidic/Haredi sects. Then there are all the Torah classes, Kollel, Yeshivot etc.

Then there’s the youth movements, and ‘young adult’ movements many of which have branches in the UK
