Willing to die so you don't hear a women sing? Israeli Rabbi just suggested such a thing

In Israel, the Ultra Orthodox Jews are flexing their religious muscles. Here it's the headline and the first lines of the news:

Top settler rabbi: Soldiers will sooner choose death than suffer women's singing
Rabbi Elyakim Levanon warns IDF of prohibiting soldiers from leaving events which include women's signings, says hopes there are 'wise' people who would prevent such an order.

For Orthodox Jews, women singing is as bad watching porn, since they believe that a woman's voice entices men to commit sexual acts, and think impure thoughts. I wonder how little does keeping the Law do to them. Apparently, if a voice of woman singing it's too much temptation for them, then they have a lust problem.

They don't want women to serve in the army. I don't disagree with that, but women singing?

The reserve officers indicated that their appeal comes in response to a series of recent events, including the boycotting of military ceremonies by religious cadets due to women singing.The petitioners warned in their letter about harm caused to the motivation of women to serve in the army, as well as to what they termed damage to "the fundamental values of Israeli society."

Well, I agree that allowing women in combat operations is bad for any society, but once they are in, and you object to their singing, it's nonsense!

But what I find unacceptable and totally out of line, is what this rabbi comments on what some rabbis may suggest to religious soldiers:

However, in a radio interview on Thursday, Rabbi Levanon criticized a possible ruling that would forbid religious soldiers from leaving events over women's singing, saying that IDF soldier should choose death before complying with such an order.

There you go, dying for listening to a woman singing. This reminds of the Greek myth of the Odyssey, where the sirens would sing, and turn the sailors mad, and they would wreck their ships against the rocks.

Well, if you think that the Taliban is bad, check out Israel's Orthodox Jews.
