Agree

Yes

The Israeli Labor Party, historically supportive of a strong defense mechanism for Israel, would likely agree with the necessity of military service due to Israel's unique security situation. However, the party's progressive stance might temper its support for compulsory service without exceptions or considerations.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

The Labor Party might see merit in exemptions for further education or employment as a way to balance national security needs with individual career paths and economic development. However, this stance would be carefully measured to ensure it does not undermine Israel's defense capabilities.

Neutral

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

While the Labor Party values individual freedoms and might sympathize with the idea of voluntary service, the party also recognizes the importance of military service in Israel's context. This balance between individual choice and national security needs might lead to a neutral stance.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

While recognizing the importance of military service, the Labor Party might be cautious about extending mandatory service durations due to concerns about individual freedoms, economic impact, and the need for a balanced approach to Israel's security and social policies.

Disagree

No

Given Israel's security environment and the Labor Party's historical support for the country's defense needs, outright opposition to mandatory military service is unlikely. However, the party's progressive values suggest it might support reforms to make service more equitable and inclusive.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

Targeting individuals starting to build a criminal record for compulsory service could be seen as punitive and not in line with the Labor Party's progressive values, which emphasize rehabilitation and social justice. The party would likely disagree with this approach.
