Wow

I was just checking out Arutz Sheva and read some amazing stories about the IDF soldiers in Gush Katif. You should really check it out. Here are some excerpts:

The wave of "Last Minute Refusals" is growing by the hour, with soldiers throughout the IDF stating they will not obey orders relating to the forced expulsion of Jews from Gaza and northern Samaria.

Five lieutenant colonels wrote (in a letter to the Defense Minister, Mofaz, and Chief of Staff Halutz) that there is a possibility that up to half of all soldiers, including officers, assigned to Disengagement duties intend to disclose their objection to the expulsion of Jews from Gaza and Samaria on the day they are ordered to carry out the mission.

Monday morning, fifteen soldiers in the Maintenance Corps refused to board a bus that was to take them from their base southward. The soldiers refused to take part in the uprooting of the Jewish communities of Gaza. Seven of the soldiers were sentenced in speedy field trials to 21 days in jail, while the remaining eight are still being questioned by military police.

The site is VERY worth checking out. The pictures are so touching.

I hope this all ends very soon. And NOT in the way that Sharon wants it.

Hi! Your blog is really great! I was also on Arutz Sheva and it is truly amazing what is going on, how even after they are so against what the sodiers are doing to them, they still hug and like give each other chizuk through this crazy period.

Hashem should have mercy on all of us.

Shalom
