‘Movements Like These End Wars’: Israelis Attend Conference Calling For IDF Service Refusal

 ‘Movements Like These End Wars’: Israelis Attend Conference Calling For IDF Service Refusal

In the first ever conference of its kind, speakers said soldiers should strip off their uniform and stand against the war. ‘I realized there was no connection between the war and the defending of civilians,’ said one attendee

…an audience was gathering for the next conference, organized by the writers of last October’s letter, penned by reservists and conscripts, announcing that they would not report for duty until Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed the hostage deal.

More than 200 reservists and conscripts have signed the letter to date. More than 100 people came to the conference. But only a few audience members wore army pants, signalling that they are actually soldiers actively refusing to serve. When they stood up, they received a roar of applause from the crowd.
Most of the attendees were of the kind expected to appear at such an event – people too old to refuse to serve themselves, as attested by their graying hair.
“Tel Avivians,” summarized a 17-year-old from the Gush Etzion settlement bloc in the West Bank, who stood out among the attendees. “I’m also against the war,” he hastily said, explaining that his parents’ political beliefs were left-leaning. “We simply live there.”..

Shaked Rogel is a member of the security squad of Kibbutz Malkia, located 600 meters south of the Lebanese border. Rogel is also a reservist serving in the 7064th Battalion of the Combat Engineering Corps. He says that during his battalion’s training, his commander said, “we’re entering Lebanon to destroy Shi’ite villages.”

…He said that he decided to refuse to serve at that moment, because this was clearly an illegal order. When asked if he announced his refusal at that moment, in front of his commander and surrounded by his comrades, Rogel replied that it was hard for him to object in real time.

As mentioned earlier in the series, the majority of Israelis were concerned about civil war before Oct 7th, as Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul splintered Israeli political society. Many point to the tense political situation in Israel prior to Oct 7th as potentially playing into Netanyahu’s motives to ignore intelligence indicating an attack.

…In July, The Cradle reported, “Over Half of Israelis Worry About Possible Civil War: Poll” – 2 and a half months before October 7th.

..Former Mossad Chief Danny Yatom said during the demonstration that Netanyahu was seeking to keep the war in Gaza going because “it seems to him that as long as the guns are roaring, it is easier for him to ‘dissolve’ his criminal trial,” and that freeing the captives was not a priority for the PM
