Trying to understand the point of such a protest in Manhattan or rather how you can explain to New Yorkers the meaning of such a protest. If Ch'vs there was a reason for a draft or call up in the USA as in WW2, I don't think yeshivah guys would get a pass. Of course I believe that in Israel they should leave the yeshiva guys alone, but how to you explain to New Yorkers in Manhattan the reason for the protest? Won't they simply say, that since Israel is constantly on alert with their neighbors, that everyone needs to be drafted? During WW2, did college guys get off the hook?

In NY, they can explain that the law is aimed specifically at religious men to criminalize their studies It is not about the needs of the army as the army does not want Charedim. Also, any "non-charedi" who does not enlist in the army is not subject to parallel laws.

Also in the wars fought by America, Yeshiva students, and all divinity students, were exempt from the draft. It is universally accepted.

Some DL "rabbi" was on the media last night quoting the Rambam and explaining why he did not go to the Atzeres Tefila. He agreed that if someone wants to dedicate his life to learning, he is patur from the army, as was in the wars in our history, but that is only for shevet Levi. This "rabbi" did not know that the Rambam also writes "lo Shevet Levi bilvad" I think every 12 year old frum bachur knows that Rambam.

No but Rabbinical students (as well as other religions) were exempt.

Who exactly are you trying to explain it to? The US goverment? Its enough that the goverment in Israel sees an overwhelming support in america to the chareidim which mounts more pressure on them due to tourism etc....

Glad everyone at the  "atzeres" slept very well last night, while the IDF was working hard to protect the atzeres goers:

Do you honestly beleive that Israel is the safest place for a Jew to live?
Personally I think that a small country surrounded by billions of arabs is the most dangerous place for Jews, even with the "mighty IDF".
 How many Jews have been killed over the last 60 years in Israel with the protection of the Mighty IDF? How many killed in the USA, Europe?
With all due respect, you're in lala land.

less Jews have been killed in Israel in the past 20 years due to suicide bombers than in the USA and Europe. (However, more Jews die in Israel in auto accidents than suicide bombings)

#1 - Our learning and Mitzvos help. Obviously in an active war (i.e. Yom Kippur War), everyone would be required to be more involved and many to join and assist.
#2 - that quote is to parallel with the number of Jews killed in America during the September 11 attacks,
           and the French suicide bombing in front of the school, etc... Specifically 'suicide bombings'. Perhaps rocket #s are higher.. Not sure;
            however, I believe that are are to live in a manner that EY is a safe place to be...

There are pros and cons about living anywhere, I have news to tell you up untill 40 or 50 years ago it was not very pleasant to live as a Jew in the United States as Jews, it is only a very new thing that Jews live well in the United States and canada, and yes a Jew living in israel is way better off then a Jew living in Muslim countries even when times were so called good, Jew in a muslim countries were like the Christians today living in Muslims lands being treated as second class citizens, a secular Jew living in Europe has no future of marrying a Jew, a frum Jew in Europe has a bigger chance of being ganged up by arab thugs then a Jew in yerushalyim, there is something to say about a jew protecting a jew which is only in Israel.
