This may sound harsh, but an army of slaves (i.e. conscripts) is incompatible with a free country. If the citizens can't be mustered to volunteer in its defense, the current state as a social organization becomes obsolete.

Granted, there are many Israelis who would indeed volunteer and militarily, they are not in danger.
