No, Rahm Emanuel never served in the Israeli army. However, he did help briefly as a civilian volunteer on an Israeli base during the Persian Gulf War of 1991, when Iraq was firing Scud missiles at Israeli civilian populations.

Is Rahm Emanuel missing a finger?

Yes. He lost it in a meat-cutting machine while working at a fast food place in high school. The more interesting legend is that he lost it in the Israeli army, but he was never in the Israeli army. He did, however, volunteer in the Galilee during the first Gulf War in 1991.


Can Arabs serve in the Israeli armed serves?

Yes, Israeli Arabs can served in the Israeli armed services. However, they are not required to do so, it's on a voluntary basis. Israeli Arab minorities like the Druze and the Circassians do have mandatory male service in the Israeli army. The Bedouins serve voluntarily, but have a relatively high service rate. It is ethnic Palestinians, especially ethnic Muslim Palestinians, who often do not serve in the Israeli Army. Many of them, especially in the older generation, see service in the Israeli Army as a betrayal of their ethnic Palestinian nature.


Does Israel require two years of service in the army?

GENERALLY, YES, but it is more complicated.For groups who are drafted, there is a two-year requirement of service for women and a three-year requirement of service for men. The groups that are drafted are: Israeli Jews (except the Ultra-Orthodox who have a number of exemptions), Israeli Druze Men, and Israeli Circassian Men. Israeli Bedouins, Palestinian Muslim Citizens of Israel, and Palestinian Christian Citizens of Israel are not required to serve. Many Israeli Bedouin Men have a tradition of service, but there is no draft for them. A number of Orthodox Jewish battalions are now forming in the Israeli Army because of insufficient numbers of exemptions and increasing patriotism in the Orthodox Jewish community. Increasingly, Palestinian Citizens of Israel are enlisting, but it remains very unpopular in Israel's ethnic Palestinian communities to serve in the Israeli Army. Additionally, a number of foreign Jews enlist in the Israeli Army. Regardless, any individual who enlists in the Israeli Army is held to the same two-year requirement of service for women and a three-year requirement of service for men.

What is the Israel Defence Forces made of?

The IDF is composed mostly of Jews, both since Jews are the majority ethnic/religious group in Israel and because both male and female Jews are forcibly conscripted into the Israeli Army (unless they have an Ultra-Orthodox exemption). Druze Israeli males and Circassian Israeli males also have mandatory conscription, but the Druze and the Circassians together make up around 1-2% of all Israelis. Bedouin Israeli males often serve by choice, but there is no requirement for them to serve. A few ethnic Palestinians, more Christians than Muslims also serve in the Israeli Defense Forces. There is currently a debate in Arab Israeli society concerning how much Arab Israelis should be contributing to the Israeli Defense Forces.

Can Muslims serve in the Israeli military?

Yes. Numerous Muslims serve in the Israeli Defense Forces. The majority come from Bedouin families as opposed to the Palestinian Israelis, but there are some Palestinian Muslim Israelis who serve proudly in the IDF. Most Bedouins when asked about whether there is a Muslim injunction on fighting other Muslims, they respond by asking: And what about all of the wars between Muslim States? Circassians are another Muslim minority in Israel who serve in the army, but unlike the Bedouins who volunteer, Circassian males are conscripted mandatorily. There is a requirement for all Jews, all male Druze, and all male Circassians to serve in the Israeli Army. Bedouins and Palestinian Israelis have the choice to enlist or not. It is worth noting that although Druze are similar to Muslims, both Muslims and Druze believe that the Druze are a distinct religion.
