The following is an excerpt from the online petition by Israeli Reserve military
men who REFUSE to serve in the Occupied Territories.
Please click on the link above. These are the truly brave and sensible men of the IDF.





o We, combat officers and soldiers who have served the State of Israel for long weeks every year, in spite of the dear cost to our personal lives, have been on reserve duty all over the Occupied Territories, and were issued commands and directives that had nothing to do with the security of our country, and that had the sole purpose of perpetuating our control over the Palestinian people. We, whose eyes have seen the bloody toll this Occupation exacts from both sides.

o We, who sensed how the commands issued to us in the Territories, destroy all the values we had absorbed while growing up in this country.

o We, who understand now that the price of Occupation is the loss of IDF's human
character and the corruption of the entire Israeli society.

o We, who know that the Territories are not Israel, and that all settlements are bound to be evacuated in the end.
o We hereby declare that we shall not continue to fight this War of the Settlements.
We shall not continue to fight beyond the 1967 borders in order to dominate, expel, starve and humiliate an entire people.
