In theory. In practice, I doubt it.

The Israeli parliament consists of 120 politicians. Their children would need:

• to not be Haredi, which are exempt from service
• to be between the ages of 18-21, which is when their mandatory service runs
• to serve in combat units

Chances are only a few of them answer this criteria (even less considering the extremist portion of this specific government which didn’t serve, and their children likely don’t serve either), and even they are likely not above pulling strings to get them out of danger. Except for that politician you talked about, apparently.

If you really think about it, why should life itself exist at all? The purpose of life is to simply reproduce. Well… what if it didn’t? Nothing, it just wouldn’t exist. It is a bad thing or a good thing?

You can get very philosophical with this one, but I do agree that we humans deserve to fade out. So many atrocities, so much… pain, and all for really stupid reasons.

We may win a battle or few, but not the war.
