I’m also lost and dumb. But as I understand both groups exist. There are the ultra nationalist Orthodox that are also the main group settling the West Bank. Then there are other Orthodox groups that are religious but not nationalist, i.e. they are actually educated and seem to realize that God doesn’t want all Palestinians to die.

All of the Orthodox groups have been exempt up until now. But I definitely think they want them to enlist not just for numbers but as others suggest as the opportunity for re-education
