We Will Own The IDF

'Rightists are trying to divide IDF'

The Peace Now movement on Wednesday criticized a letter of support written by reservists from the IDF's Shimshon Battalion of the Kfir Brigade, which expressed support for two battalion soldiers who had publicly protested the battalion's role in the evacuation of the West Bank settlement of Homesh.

"Rightist elements are making a lofty effort to divide the IDF, and turn the Shimson Battalion into a private voice for the settlers," Peace Now said in a statement.

"It's up to the IDF to remove from reserve duty every soldier who supports insubordination, and tries to make the IDF political."

The letter, which was submitted to brigade commanders on Wednesday, called for the IDF, and their unit in particular, to "stop carrying out political caprices … such as chasing after Jews with cries of joy as though they were the biggest of terrorists."

Last month, two IDF recruits from the infantry's Shimshon Battalion were sentenced to 20 days in a military jail and ejected from their unit by a military tribunal for engaging in an illegal demonstration. The two had held up a banner protesting the army's evacuation of an illegal settlement outpost during a swearing-in ceremony at the Kotel.

Their actions sparked a media firestorm and a debate over whether pro-settlement ideological organizations were increasingly undermining the IDF's chain of command.

"Shimshon does not evacuate Homesh," the large hand-written sign held up by the soldiers during the ceremony read.

The recruits were tried by Col. Oren Aman, commander of the Kfir Division, to which the Shimshon Battalion belongs.

So please let me understand for years Peace Now supported leftist traitors who refused to serve in Judea, Samaria and Gaza and that was fine.

But now that we on the right are the majority of combat soldiers, and we together with our son's are telling the government ours son's don't serve to destroy Jewish life in the Land that G-D gave us but rather to protect Jewish life we are dividing the IDF.

Understand something you leftist traitors, the IDF is ours. We might not own it 100% today but soon very soon we will own it. Paid for by the service of our son's that still serve in combat units not like so many of your sons that run away to Europe or today seek to be jobniks rather than real soldiers.

Real Jews those that understand what is going on instead of living in a leftist fantasy world don't throw Jews from their homes, period.
