It’s like this author heard repeatedly back 2 3/4 years ago in speaking with soldiers on buses to and from Neve Dekalim;
“If we don’t follow orders, we’ll lose our training, our career track, future job protexia.”
So too, the report below points out;
That the army quizzes recruits on their attitudes to the disengagement when deciding which units to assign them to. Army psychologists also proffer evaluative opinions, to ensure that the recruit is being straightforward about his opinion. If a youth is found to be “too right-wing,” a number of choices of unit assignment or army career paths are closed to him.
The hard-harded Olmert regime, like his predecessor Sharon, will stop at nothing to suppress all who see Jewishness and Eretz Yisrael as being entwined, including labeling them seditious just as they did in arresting 3 people for distributing “seditious (traitorous) material”; a Center for Near East Policy Research report which asks; “Can Mahmoud Abbas and his party serve as legitimte peace negotiation partners?” MB
IDF Admits It Doesn’t Like ‘Orange Youth’
Excerpts;
Confirming long-held suspicions by Israelis holding right-wing political opinions, the IDF admitted last week that it indeed was discriminating against youths who disagree with the 2005 disengagement, in which some 10,000 Jews were thrown out of their homes. The admission came during a Knesset subcommittee discussion on a law that would dismiss and purge from the public record all cases brought against youths who were arrested for acts of civil disobedience during the period leading up to the disengagement.
An IDF official testifying at the session said that the army quizzes recruits on their attitudes to the disengagement when deciding which units to assign them to. Army psychologists also proffer evaluative opinions, to ensure that the recruit is being straightforward about his opinion. If a youth is found to be “too right-wing,” a number of choices of unit assignment or army career paths are closed to him.
The law would specifically require the IDF not to discriminate against such recruits.
