Mutiny in IDF: Thousands of IDF soldiers call on government to stop fighting in Gaza

April 11 2025 9 876 4

More than 8,000 IDF soldiers have written a joint letter calling on the Israeli government to release Palestinian hostages, even if it means ending the fighting in Gaza, The Jerusalem Post reports. The document was signed by both active-duty and reserve officers.

We agree with the serious and disturbing statement that war today primarily serves political and personal interests, not security interests.

– the publication quotes from the military’s letter.

The document emphasizes that the continuation of the IDF operation in the Palestinian enclave increases casualties among IDF soldiers.

Continuing the war will not achieve its stated goals and will result in the deaths of hostages, IDF soldiers and innocent civilians.

– the Israeli military emphasizes.

This appeal by the Israeli military provoked an angry reaction from the country's Ministry of Defense and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The head of the Israeli government called those who signed the document a "marginal group" and accused them of refusing to perform their official duties, essentially deserting. According to him, the order for their dismissal from the army has already been signed by the country's Minister of Defense and the Prime Minister fully supports this decision.

It's about an extremist fringe group that is once again trying to destroy Israel society from the inside. Refusal to serve is refusal to serve, even if it is expressed in veiled and evasive terms.

Said Netanyahu.

Let us recall that some time ago the Israel Defense Forces resumed the operation in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, Tel Aviv noted that they intend to cut the Palestinian enclave in two.

Let us add that, according to estimates by international human rights organizations, the IDF operation in the Gaza Strip is accompanied by massive civilian casualties.

It's kind of strange that 8 servicemen are: 000% are marginal. And two people: Netanyahu and Katz: 99,975%
- normal? This is the Israeli mathematics

All this is nonsense, someone collected 8 thousand signatures and this was in the army. It is clear that the Jews do not want to be like the Nazis, and this is what happens if you look at Netanyahu's statements and the actions of his structures. Therefore, this "collective" appeal to the government is a convenient pretext for changing its policy in the Strip, saving face. Well, the preparation for the attack on Iran also plays a role in the birth of this "request of the workers".

Madman Netanyahu and his companions have already violated the most important military doctrine - not killing unarmed civilians. Netanyahu's genocide of 75000 unarmed Palestinians cannot be pardoned. Netanyahu used religion as a tool to kill innocent Palestinian civilians. In the future, every Jewish person on this planet will be a legitimate target.

The fate of Israel would be absolutely pathetic. No one in the world would buy Israel's "anti-Semitic propaganda". The world would laugh at Israel for creating a sanatorium for endangered species (protected species) called by the Zionists. The countries that encourage Netanyahu are choosing the wrong path. Yes, Israel has become a sanatorium for crazy Zionists.

You can't understand Russia with your mind. What do we care about distant Palestine and its bogeymen? The fascists are in the Kursk region, a worthless war led by a coward and a weakling has been going on for 4 years without victories, tens of thousands have been killed and wounded, border towns and villages have been completely destroyed. And these people are worried about terrorists! As for the Israeli soldiers, they should be fired without the right to a pension or benefits! This is an army, not an institute for noble maidens!
