Quote:Gaza mission canceled after religious troops refuse to serve with female paramedic
Soldiers in the Givati Brigade’s Rotem Battalion refused to enter an armored personnel carrier in the Gaza Strip for operational activity on Tuesday night because a female paramedic was attached to the force, the Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday.
As a result, the mission was canceled, according to the army.
The incident was the latest in a series of cases of male Orthodox soldiers refusing to interact with servicewomen in the army, due to the men’s religious sensibilities. The cases play into the larger debate in Israeli society over whether Haredi men must serve in the military, and how much the IDF must do to accommodate their religious observances and strictures.
The IDF said that “soldiers who maintain a religious lifestyle are entitled to carry out operational activity within a gender-segregated framework, except in exceptional cases.”
“The force refused to carry out the operational activity, and as a result, the activity was canceled,” the military said.
In a separate incident on Monday, a group of female soldiers was briefly denied entry to a military outpost in northern Israel because an ultra-Orthodox unit was stationed there, Channel 12 reported.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
