Dedicated to Your Cause and Getting Your Wish

You have to have at least some respect for a person who puts his money where his mouth is and is dedicated to the cause he believes in.
Ahro Biale, a regular participant in the Peleg Yerushalmi protests, has become somewhat famous and a subject of regular Internet memes with a lot of fans. Biale is an American yeshiva bochur learning in Eretz Yisrael in Rav Shmuel Auerbach's yeshiva, and Biale has gone hardcore Peleg.
Last year Biale decided to make aliya for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the opportunity to be AWOL from the army and stick it to those Zionists. So, for 5 months now Biale has been AWOL. Now that he tried to leave Israel to go visit his parents for the Pesach holiday in Lakewood, NJ, he was arrested in the airport and will be spending 20 days in a military jail, though he has made a request for a lightened sentence that is being considered.
He definitely got what he wished for when he made aliyah. Only some new immigrants can say as much about their own aliya experiences...
