Roy Kunkol, who was the spokesman and advisor to the opposition leader Yair Lapid, wrote today (Sunday) in a post he published: “I will not make reserves under a regime that is trying to destroy us and I will not make reserves after seeing the government’s message page. From Bibi and down through his trumpets, trying to blacken the pilots and my fellow reservists.”
Kunkol also wrote: “I have no doubt left. I have reserves next week. This is not Israel anymore and I am no longer debating. Opposing the dictatorship is a moral obligation and it is the most important reserve I can do.”
Acting Major Yigal Brand, CEO of Betar Global and commander of the consultant’s company said in response to the words: “I was sorry to receive your message and to see that you do not intend to come to training next week.
As you know, in the democratic state of Israel, the IDF receives orders only from the political level. There is no room for refusal within the IDF. In our company there are people of the right and the left, members of the kibbutz and the village.
Our ancestors who were murdered in Auschwitz dreamed of wearing the uniform of the IDF. Do not harm yourself, do not harm the Holy of Holies of the People of Israel – the IDF. Come back, and one hour earlier is fine.”
