Their job is to guarantee that Haredi mothers and fathers will continue to sleep well at night, while secular and non-Haredi religious parents shake in fear every time the doorbell rings. All the other arguments are just a charade. Therefore, the secular response must be no less sharp and clear: Conscription of all of the Haredim, at the age of 18, without exemptions, without tricks and without contrivances like “alternative civilian service.”
