The IDF permanently discharged two IDF officers who posted on social media that they are refusing to report for reserve duty in the wake of the resumption of battle in the Gaza Strip. Michael Majer, a former officer in the Military Intelligence Directorate, wrote on X on Wednesday morning: “I joined the army to protect my nation. The thing that will most help protect my nation now is to refuse to take part in fighting in the service of a bunch of filthy traitors and in complete opposition to the interests of Am Yisrael.” Shortly later, the IDF informed him that he is being permanently dismissed from the reserves. Alon Gur, a combat navigator in the Air Force reserves, was permanently discharged from the IDF on Tuesday after announcing that he would no longer report for reserve duty following the resumption of battle in the Gaza Strip. Gur wrote on social media that he has been serving in active reserve duty for 16 years. “This morning I broke,” he continued. “A few hours ago I met with my squadron commander and told him that enough is enough. The line has been crossed – at the point where the state again abandons its citizens in broad daylight, where cynical and cold political considerations outweigh any other consideration, and where human lives have lost their value. At the point where a government is obliterating its gatekeepers in every possible way. At the point where the king becomes more important than the kingdom. Enough is enough.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
