Pressure Building On Haredi Army Exemption Law
When Israelâs first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, granted a few hundred haredi Orthodox Jews an exemption from army service, itâs likely he never dreamed that 63 years later, tens of thousands of haredi Israelis would claim the exemptionâor that the issue would be among the most contentious in modern Israel. Haredi army service took center stage again this week when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he would not seek a five-year extension of the Tal Law but would allow the Israeli Knesset to vote on the issue. The law, named after retired Supreme Court justice Tzvi Tal and enacted in 2002 under then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak, allows full-time yeshiva students to delay their army service until age 23

Tel Aviv emerges as top gay tourist destination
By ARON HELLER Associated Press TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) – Tel Aviv has long been a gay paradise, one of the few places in the Middle East where gays feel free to walk hand-in-hand and kiss in public. Now, thanks to its balmy climate, vibrant nightlife and a creative government-backed branding campaign, the city has become one of the world's top gay tourist destinations. As always in the Middle East, however, conflict is never far away, and some critics have accused Israel of using such tolerance as a way to divert attention from alleged transgressions against Palestinians
