Hey, I will be reviewing this article!

The article seems to be well-written and well-sourced; I will post some of my (minor) comments below, and would check the sources in the next few days. Artem.G (talk) 14:45, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look!

Comments/questions:

• The only real question I have is about this sentence: "Conscription is mandatory for all male and female Jewish citizens, and male citizens of Druze and Circassian descent; Arab citizens and Haredi/ultra-orthodox Jews are exempted." - as far as I understand, Conscription is mandatory for all non-Jewish citizens (for example, Armenians), and for children and grandchildren of Jews, too. And for Haredi/ultra-orthodox Jews there is no exemption by the citizenship law, but there is one by Tal Committee#Tal Law. I will check your sources, but can you please also check these facts?

• "Jewish" here doesn't refer to people practicing Judaism, but people who are legally part of the Jewish nationality/ethnic group according to the government. I can't find specific literature on the enlistment of other ethnicities other than the common exceptional cases already listed here. If you find anything, we can change this up. As for your comment on the lack of exemption listed in the Citizenship Law, I'll answer with the question below.

• You're right, even the Israeli army website gives the same info regarding the conscription. Though it's strange for me, but sorry for that point, your writing was correct and sourced. Artem.G (talk) 12:30, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

• 'Israeli citizenship law' and '1952 Citizenship Law' are the same, but capitalized differently. Should it be so?

• The two terms are related but very different. "Israeli citizenship law" refers the entire body of legislation and jurisprudence concerning citizenship in Israel. The 1952 Citizenship Law is one specific piece of legislation that is part of "Israeli citizenship law" generically. When "Citizenship Law" is capitalized, it's referring to that one specific law. Regulations on conscription would fall into "citizenship law" in the generic sense. Horserice (talk) 20:34, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

• This one is a bit confusing: the article title is "Israeli citizenship law", but in the infobox it's "1952 Citizenship Law", that's why I asked whether it's the same. I'll look through the sources, so let it be for now as it is; it's probably correct and justified. Artem.G (talk) 12:30, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

I've checked nearly half of the sources, and everything seems to be fine, sources are reliable and every claim is sourced; no OR was found; no images - so no problems here; you have very clear writing, and everything is done according to MoS; lead is ok. I see no reasons why it is not a GA. So, congrats, it's GA now! Artem.G (talk) 10:17, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks for taking the time to review it! Horserice (talk) 11:07, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
