A wave of hate mail targeting chareidi members of Knesset has been recorded in recent days, against the backdrop of heated public debate over the draft law and rising anger toward the chareidi sector.

One of the letters, published by journalist Yaakov Hershkowitz in Yisroel Hayom, included extreme and offensive language. It stated: “You chareidim — all of you are bloodsuckers. Evaders of military service. Parasites and leeches. Despicable liars.”

The letter was reportedly sent to several chareidi MKs and reflects the escalating rhetoric surrounding the issue of military exemptions. According to aides, this was not an isolated incident but part of an ongoing pattern of similar letters being delivered to Knesset offices.

Staff in the lawmakers’ offices said they continue to act as emissaries of their rabbinic leadership and choose to ignore what they described as “background noise.” However, they acknowledged that the phenomenon is troubling and appears to be intensifying.
