  • Israel is also fighting itself. No room for peace in that country.
  • @Jesse-cw5pv
    So they dont want to go to war for their country but they'll throw molotovs at the police?
  • Other people have been fighting on their behalf for along time, alot of nations have spilled blood to protect and rescue the jews, if they wanna stay alive they need to also sacrifice,you cant just allow others to die for you, otherwise why are you living? Other people ate fighting for your beliefs,so should you.
  • @jpartin3471
    They're clearly willing to fight in the streets???
  • @Matt-xc6sp
    Fights the police over their religious exemption to not fight.
  • @vadim64841
    Time to protect your country, instead of benefiting daily from someone else’s protecting it.
  • @burns767
    Doesn’t make sense. It is their country, and yet they refuse to be drafted into the military that protects them protect their country, protect their families?
  • @arimaisel3941
    Ironic that they refuse to go fight then immediately go toe to toe with their own government.
  • Imagine thinking you’re divinely entitled to a piece of land but thinking others should fight for it for you.
  • @irenem3854
    King David was a warrior and a man after God's own heart. Stop letting other people fight for you. It's wrong.
  • @jasonm.1827
    Privileged not liking their privilege taken away.
  • @nwilt7114
    They should pay heavy taxes if they don't fight. They still eat from Israel's plate, so they have to contribute in some way.
  • @jpdemer5
    Cowards. They'll fight the police, but only to avoid fighting in the military.
  • @skippydip999
    They can fight in the streets but not for their country on the battlefield?
  • @Bob-fk8vd
    They won’t fight to protect their country, but they will fight to not have to fight. Cowards.
