The Israeli High Court of Justice ruled in 2002 that refusal to serve was legal on the grounds of unqualified pacifism, but "selective refusal" which accepted some duties and not others was illegal. The court said that allowing selective refusal would "weaken the ties that bind us as a nation". The court also said that the refusal to serve in the territories is selective refusal and not

Since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948,
Haredi Jews have refused to serve in the Israeli military for religious reasons. Typically, they study
Torah in Yeshivas, and as such are
legally exempt from military service. Also refusing any Israeli military service are people affiliated with various
Hasidic anti-Zionist groups (most notably
Satmar), the
Brisk Yeshivas, and the
Neturei Karta. Most of these groups are followers of the
Edah HaCharedis. Haredi Jews who avoid military service yet are only part-time
yeshiva students, have received criticism from within the
Orthodox community.
