A Walking Pyramid Scheme: The Move That Proved Netanyahu Lost All Shame | Ben Caspit

Ben Caspit accuses Netanyahu of trying to evade the conscription law he himself promoted, while the burden on those serving grows and the Haredim refuse to give up their exemption. He calls him a 'human pyramid scheme' and compares his actions to a shopkeeper selling the same goods twice.

Ben Caspit, a columnist for Maariv, sharply attacks Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his handling of the Haredi conscription issue. Caspit claims that Netanyahu is trying to distance himself from the conscription law he himself promoted, while the burden on those serving grows and the Haredim refuse to give up their exemption. He calls Netanyahu a 'human pyramid scheme' and says this is a recurring pattern of his and his 'servants'. Caspit mentions October 7, the real distress of the IDF, and the pressure on those serving, reservists, and regular soldiers. He notes that the Haredim are now larger, richer, and more brazen, and they hold Netanyahu in a sensitive spot. He compares Netanyahu's actions to a shopkeeper selling the same goods twice 'on paper'. The column also mentions Aryeh Deri, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Bezalel Smotrich as part of the system.
