my friend served in idf, right after his 2 year term in ukrainian army, my friend that lived in the same building as me, in ukraine, and went to the same shcool as me is serving in idf now, my 2 relatives (girls) served, service is mandatory in israel 1 year, everyone that came to israel got citizenship automaticly, but they must serve, as for desrters, from what my friends tell me, quite a few immigrants, that must serve, leave israel before enlistment age, to skip service, that if they ever were to come back,they do it when they are after 28, but israili authorities, wait for them in the airport with hand calfs ready, and i know of cases when ppl were arrested in the airport, some kids i even knew, or they try to pay off doctors, or fake mental dissabuility, so called paragraff 21. there is a leagal way to put off service, if a person under enlistment age leaves the coutry, they must register, and will be up for service within 6 months after return. assuming thay are come back before they turn 28.
i see planty of kids here, that went to israel from ussr, than left for us before 18 years of age, some said, if it wasn,t fer service they wouldn,t leave, i have 0 respect for kids like that. to me they are traitors, they escaped communist rule, come to a country that welcomed them and gave them citizenship, but they aren,t paying the dues, in us service is not mandatory, in israel is. espesially since israel needs ppl to protect the homeland from real eveyday threat.
