‘We’d rather die than enlist’: Haredi Jews vow to defy conscription

Why not tie participantion in the service to suffrage and state benefits eligibility? Make it voluntary still, reduce the amount of civil unrest you'd have to deal with by using force to implement policy. If you are willing to ilsupport the state, you get to participate in its direction and be supported by it. Otherwise you can still work, own property, access to courts, use infrastructure such and roads and public education for your children, but lose out on direct financial assistance, and the ability to directly influence public policy.
