Published: 08.06.07, 21:37 / Israel NewsHesder soldiers who refused to follow military orders to evacuate settlers in Hebron will receive a 28-day jail sentence, the IDF decided Monday evening. Their battalion commander, Col. Etai Virov, who tried the soldiers, further ruled that they will be dismissed from their posts and barred from future combat duty.
After consulting rabbis, twelve soldiers and two commanders from the Kfir Brigade of the Duchifat Battalion announced Monday morning that they would not take part in the evacuation of families living in the city's market area.
Originally, 30 soldiers - all former yeshiva students - declared their refusal of a scheduled Tuesday deployment to replace a Border Guard force in the West Bank and take part in the forced evacuation. Their statements prompted unit officers to threaten a severe response, leading over half of the group to comply.
The IDF has made a huge mistake in the actions taken today.
First the IDF knows that religious soldiers, have a problem obeying an order of this kind. It is in the view of the soldiers and their Rabbi's an illegal order and an immoral order.
The problem is that our Rabbi's are much greater men and men of honor, while the members of Knesset as you all know are Cowards, Scum and Traitors. While the Rabbi's and their students march forward keeping the commands of the Torah. Our Prime Minister is meeting with Abbas, in Jericho marching forward as the poodle of the American State Department thinking nothing about Torah and the Land G-D gave us but only thinking of how to please his masters in Foggy Bottom and how to weaken Israel.
Second mistake by the IDF is the removal of these soldiers from combat duty, Col. Etai Virov you have failed your G-D, your country, and yourself.
