baba News: Israeli & Hebrew news, translated to English

The Haredi newspaper Yated Ne'eman published a strong editorial rejecting its affiliation with the right-wing bloc and criticizing right-wing politicians for "patronage" and threats. The editorial, prompted by warnings regarding the conscription law, asserts the Haredi public's autonomy and questions the right's historical treatment of their community. It states, "We are not right-wing! Not right-wing and not left-wing! We are the opinion of the Torah!" The piece also blames right-wing Knesset members for obstructing the conscription law and imposing harsh decrees on the Haredi public.
