- Black Color party video questions Haredi parties' solutions for yeshiva students.
- Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch stated a law with conscription targets was unworkable.
- MK Yitzchak Pindrus detailed proposed sanctions against yeshiva students.
- Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri admitted there is currently no solution.
- Black Color claims to offer a real solution without conscription or sanctions.
The new video from the "Black Color" party is generating significant attention by posing a pointed question to the Haredi public: Since the Bisumut Basic Law does not protect Torah scholars and was not advanced due to the directive of Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch, what solution do the Haredi parties offer for yeshiva students after the elections? The video features Rabbi Hirsch explaining why a law including 50% conscription targets and sanctions against yeshiva students could not be advanced, stating it would make continuing the yeshiva way of life under such a law impossible. MK Yitzchak Pindrus is then shown detailing the personal, familial, and economic sanctions proposed in the law presented as a solution for Torah scholars. The video then pivots to its central question: What is the plan for the 100,000 yeshiva and Kollel students awaiting a real arrangement, and what will the parties do the morning after the elections? It includes recent statements from senior figures in the Haredi political system, such as Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri, who said focus should be on the Messiah as there is currently no solution, and Elikim Stark, who urged against selling false hope, stating, "We have no solution." In contrast, "Black Color" asserts, "The veteran parties have no solution, we've understood that. We have one." The video advocates for trying something different, urging voters to choose the party that commits to a real solution and protects every yeshiva student without conscription targets, quotas, or sanctions, rather than voting for those who admit they have no answer. The video concludes with a call to vote for "Black Color," the protector of the Torah world, using a candle symbol at the ballot box.
