Help Help translating this Israeli satire comedy video?

The guy makes himself out to be Hitler but is Israeli and speaking Hebrew so I assume it's some sort of satire but not sure at all since don't speak much Hebrew at all.

If anyone could help would be very appreciated! :)

I'm sure others would like to translate it. But I have no idea what the mustache is about. It's a scathing rant about how ultra orthodox want Israeli men to study torah and not to serve in the military. He doesn't explain why he's costumed as hitler, doesn't bring up the mustache at all.

Oh thanks. Yeah I guess it's just some bait engagement choice 😂

I mean the most obvious answer would be if he's calling the person/people he's criticizing nazis. But even though the arguments over military service are the most aggressive they've ever been... I feel like him doing that in this case is not even unhinged, just nonsensical, especially if he doesn't even talk about it lol. If it's just engagement bait... well, people are engaged! But most of them don't know what he's saying so why is it a rant about domestic politics?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

What do you mean? I'm not going to click on engagement bait but "talks in Hebrew about Israeli politics" doesn't sound odd to me

Oh. Oh okay. He's hitler in every single video. I assume that all of them are fairly lukewarm takes from a liberal or centrist point of view, and none of them address the hitler in the room.

The Ultra-Orthodox often compare those who demand for them to be drafted to Nazis etc. I guess he's embracing it to mock them in a way

It seems you posted a request for translation! To make this as easy for our users as possible, please include in a comment the context of your request. Where is the text you want translated from? (If it's on an object, where you did find the object, when was it made, who made it, etc.?) Why do you want it translated? Hebrew can be a very contextual language and accurate translations might not be directly word-for-word. Knowing this information can be important for an accurate translation.

Not funny. It's a standard leftist anti religious low energy guy.
