there was a horrible attack in Mea Shearim - an army officer went to visit his soldiers, and was attacked by some of the locals.

As horrible as the attack was, and I hope this problem is dealt with at the highest levels, did you catch what happened? This officer was visiting his soldiers in Mea Shearim. His soldiers live in Mea Shearim!

Even Haredim in the heart of one of the most extreme Haredi, anti-army, neighborhoods in the country, are going into the army. Maybe not enough yet, but it is happening.

There is a silver lining to this story.
