We, reserve combat officers and soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, who were raised upon the principles of Zionism, sacrifice and giving to the people of Israel and to the State of Israel, who have always served in the front lines, and who were the first to carry out any mission, light or heavy, in order to protect the State of Israel and strengthen it.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• We, who know that the Territories are not Israel, and that all settlements are bound to be evacuated in the end.
• 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.
• We hereby declare that we shall continue serving in the Israel Defense Forces in any mission that serves Israel’s defense.
• The missions of occupation and oppression do not serve this purpose – and we shall take no part in them.

Note that some other peacenik article posted here yesterday claimed 1,000 of these.
Some students at UC-Berkeley plan to join Israeli Army (Berkeley? YES - BERKELEY) :)))
Alas...a whole people have been bred as serial murderers and psychopathic misfits..........led by the spawn of the devil, Arafat.
"O Lord, remove the hate in their hearts and let them see the path to peace.......or smite the evil horde with a cauterizing pillar of your heavenly fire!"
I don't know where your number came from but if true I find it incredible that a nation under direct attack can fail to mobilize almost a third of the population. The US was not under attack by the Vietnamese. There was a big anti-war movement in the US on December 6, 1941 but it ended totally on December 7.
Israel must be doing something wrong. It has been condemned by every significant nation (except the US), The European Union, the Vatican, by several hundred of the IDF and by 28% of its population. Way to go, Sharon!
As I said on the original thread, these students are not among those who believe that writing fiery comments to Free Republic is what is meant by "Next year in Jerusalem".
