Rabbi curses Zamir at Bnei Brak anti-draft protest: ‘may his name and memory be erased’
The rally, attended by hundreds of haredi men and led by former Sephardi chief rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, protested the drafting of yeshiva students to the army
Assessment
A religious leader publicly curses a senior military figure, reflecting the intensity of haredi opposition to conscription. The use of a traditional imprecation against IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Zamir escalates rhetoric beyond standard protest. The demonstration signals deepening communal defiance as the state pursues enforcement, raising questions about how authorities will respond to such explicit incitement.
