A storm of controversy arose on Israeli media after a video was posted on social media portraying the possible consequences of the recent calls for IDF refusal in protest of the democratically elected government.
In the video, an IDF ground soldier fighting in Lebanon is seen desperately calling for air support in the middle of a battle, only to have the pilots respond by inquiring whether he is in favor or against judicial reform.
The pilots’ delay ends in the worst result of all – the soldier is bombed and dies.
IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari slammed the video, writing: “In the last few days, a video has been circulated whose purpose is to create internal discord in the IDF, which deserves complete condemnation. Cohesion in the IDF is a supreme value. We completely reject all statements against the commanders and soldiers in regular and reserve service in the Air Force. These are the best soldiers and commanders in the IDF, who risk their lives night after night.”
Many on the right slammed Hagari’s response, even dubbing him the “spokesperson of the refuseniks”.
The Torat Lechima organization wrote: “Hagari is the delusionary spokesperson for the refuseniks. The best answer to the depth of the rot of the IDF spokesperson is to share the video that will reach every citizen and soldier in Israel.”

Israel must Fire and revoke all benefits and government contracts given to those who refuse IDF call ups and demand return compensation and bridge of contract to serve as a law.
The state of Israel’s frum community of all color and creed must replace the refuseniks and sign up and replace the anti Jewish leftist and take back the state that Left is taking as hostage for 75 years.
This is intolerable state of affairs.
Try Lapid, the head instigator, Ehud Barak and Olmert for sadation and calling for Civil War and give them a one way ticket to EU and USA to live with devout Christian converts.
If State of Israel is to exist, it must get rid of and retake the Jewish state from 75 years of Antifa Communist style Marxism of whom Lapid and his father YS ( who burn down shuls in 80’s with Sefir Toira and rip mezozos off store fronts ).
Enough of cutting peois,
Force feeding pork and forcing Shabbos work and kidnapping new borns from delivery rooms and giving to be raised by secular atheists.
They who lived on charity box of Jews of Karen Kayemet are now ARROGANT AND FAT and state of TelAviv is eating its own vomit.
The only guilty party are the Frum parties and their weak leaders who lined their own pockets for 75 years with wealth and stature hid in a bubble after elections.
You would expect leadership from frum parties those who study Toirah but unlike men of Torah stature they are guilty of hordes just like Terrorists of First and Second Beis Hamikdash who refused to allow sadikim to negotiate with filthy Roman causing destruction and slavery of millions of Jew captives.
if the reform doesn’t materialize. BOUSHA on the frum parties.

Powerful Video
SHORT AND TO THE POINT. THIS SHOULD BE COMPULSORY FOR EVERY SOLDIER AND RESERVIST.
terrible ….. blame is on Liberal …. those being paid to create a ballagan, this was murder……politics and the IDF don’t go together…..
They think the charedim will do this to them if they are drafted cause they know how much they hated and hurt the Torah yidden and only bad
The purpose of the video is to create discord?
How on earth can a self respecting person say that?
Crazier than a frankensteinian cross between sleepy joe and Adam “the snake” schiffyboy…
Which god do they swear by?
Silly clip, because the Israelis perceive the Heimishe leadership as refuseniks.
