(23,272 posts)In 2000, the Equality amendment to the Military Service law stated that "The right of women to serve in any role in the IDF is equal to the right of men."
FULL equality under the law for the military forces. And that's just Israel there's also other countries that allow women in any combat role they can qualify to hold.
Whether women can be found who want those jobs, or who can do them is another question. But if they can pass the tests and fulfill their responsibilities they are allowed to hold that job in the Israeli combat units. Period.
I see nothing that stipulates that women are excluded from any position they can qualify for. If you have a link that disproves that I'm willing to look at it otherwise you are coming across as sexist and bigoted in NOT allowing women the opportunity to try for those positions.
