"All those who wish us evil, who conspire to tear yeshiva students away
from their Torah [study]- God will defy their exhortations and defy
their [evil] thoughts, and respond to reward their heads [by turning
their evil intentions back on them]. They shall speak and not a soul
will follow them, because the Lord is with us."
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef

Speaking during his weekly public Torah lecture Saturday night, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the founder and spiritual leader of the Sefardi haredi Shas Party, attacked – again – the government's plan to draft haredi yeshiva students into Israel’s military or civilian national service, Ynet reported.
"All those who wish us evil, who conspire to tear yeshiva students away from their Torah [study]- God will defy their exhortations and defy their [evil] thoughts, and respond to reward their heads [by turning their evil intentions back on them]. They shall speak and not a soul will follow them, because the Lord is with us,” Yosef reportedly said.
