The Mask Is Off: IDF Exposes Its Agenda by Forcing Charedim Into Mixed-Gender Bases
Ten Charedi soldiers were quietly placed into mixed-gender units in direct violation of every promise ever made. This is not a glitch. This is the system — a system that has no fear of Heaven, no respect for Torah, and no intention of building frameworks that actually work.
When people ask, “Why can’t the Charedi community trust the army?” — this is the answer.
According to new reports on Kol B’Rama, ten Charedi soldiers were forcibly placed into mixed, co-ed military units on a base in Tzrifin, eating in the same dining hall, serving alongside female soldiers and commanders, and operating in an environment explicitly forbidden by halacha.
These soldiers came from the Charedi Tomer and Netzach Yehuda battalions. Each of them was officially under the Charedi Administration. They were told — repeatedly — that they would be protected from inappropriate environments.
Yet the moment their medical profile dropped, or they encountered some administrative hurdle, the IDF simply discarded them into mixed units like any other soldier — as if the promises never existed.
Their requests for transfer to appropriate units were not delayed.
They were not reconsidered.
They were rejected outright.
This is not a mistake.
This is not an accident.
This is policy — spoken quietly, but enforced loudly.
This Is Why We Cannot Trust the IDF
Every few months, politicians and army spokespeople declare:
- “We honor your lifestyle.”
- “We will create safe frameworks.”
- “We understand the needs of the Charedi community.”
But the reality is always the same:
When push comes to shove, the army follows its own ideology — not halacha.
This incident proves what Gedolei Yisrael have warned for decades:
Any Charedi who enters the IDF places himself fully under the control of a system that does not fear Hashem, does not recognize Daas Torah, and does not consider halacha binding.
Once inside, a soldier has no control over where he is placed, what environment he is exposed to, or what spiritual dangers he will face.
Even the official “Charedi Administration” could not protect these ten young men.
If they cannot protect ten soldiers today, how can anyone claim they can safely absorb tens of thousands tomorrow?
The Government Doesn’t Want Tens of Thousands of Charedim Joining — and Here’s Why
People naively ask:
- “Why doesn’t the army just create more Charedi-friendly options?”
- “Why not accommodate their needs?”
- “Why not encourage thousands of Charedim to join?”
The real answer is much darker:
The government does not want us. They want to break us.
They do not want thousands of Charedi soldiers. They fear what would happen if tens of thousands of Torah-observant Jews entered their system with strength, unity, and halachic authority.
Instead, their goal is simple:
Break us down.
Erode our standards.
Chip away at our identity.
One compromise at a time.
That’s why every “Charedi track” eventually collapses into the same pattern:
- Mixed bases
- Female commanders
- Shabbos violations
- Tznius breaches
- Treif atmospheres
- Pressure to assimilate
And this isn’t only about Charedim.
If this is what they do to Charedi soldiers — who came in under official “protected frameworks” —
what do you think they do to Dati Leumi soldiers?
Ask any serious Rav in the Religious Zionist world, and he will tell you about the constant spiritual erosion, the assaults on kedusha, and the anti-religious cultures baked into many units.
This is what happens when an army places its faith in its own kochi v’otzem yadi — the arrogance of human power — instead of submitting to the Torah HaKedosha.
Nothing Will Ever Work Unless It Is Fully Controlled by Torah Leaders
Charedi Rabbanim have been crystal-clear:
No program — no matter how “friendly” — is safe unless it is 100% under halachic control of Torah leaders with real yiras Shamayim.
That means:
- Torah-led leadership
- Torah-led oversight
- Torah-led placement
- Torah-led standards
- Torah-led accountability
Not army committees.
Not secular administrators.
Not generals with kippot for decoration.
Not politicians who break promises every election cycle.
The Belzer model works only because the community controls every detail.
Not the IDF.
That is the only path forward — voluntary, protected, fully Torah-governed frameworks for those who are not learning.
Everything else is a trap.
Everything else is spiritual danger.
Everything else is betrayal.
This Incident Is a Warning — And We Must Listen
Ten soldiers thrown into mixed units is not a footnote.
It is a flashing siren.
It tells us:
- They are not serious about respecting Torah.
- They cannot be trusted to uphold standards.
- They do not want Charedim en masse — they want to break Charedim down.
This is not a military issue.
It is a spiritual issue.
A survival issue.
An identity issue.
And until the day comes when the army is run fully according to halacha — by Torah leadership, with yiras Shamayim — there is absolutely nothing to discuss.
Our Gedolim were right from the beginning.
This is exactly why.
