The October 7th Hamas invasion and massacre spurred many communities across the country to revive rapid-response squads and sparked large volunteer civilian mobilization. The ultra-Orthodox community, which largely is not drafted and has little security training, are lately shown an awakening inside their communities to contribute to the nation’s security needs. David M Weinberg, the founding senior fellow at the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy in Jerusalem, said there were many initiatives to cater to the ultra-Orthodox who want to contribute. He also told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that the accusations of Jewish settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank – often denounced by US leaders like President Joe Biden – was a myth based on fake news and an attempt to conjure-up a false moral counterweight to the Hamas violence.
