Two soldiers were suspended for making anti-left remarks this weekend to a left-wing activist who kept harassing them.
These two Givati soldiers have been suspended. The chief of staff distributed a message to the entire army in which he strongly condemned the incident: “We witnessed an Israeli soldier who did not act in accordance with the values of the Israeli army and insulted civilians, Rather, it expressed itself politically and undermined the value of the state. The Israeli army is a state army in which there is no room for expressing a political position. “
But the acting Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, lamented the chief of staff’s announcement and the decision to suspend the soldiers:
“I will ask the Chief of Staff to explain why the IDF fighters were suspended. The reprimand was enough. These fighters work with us 24/7, in the heat, in the frost, and in the snow. They work for the people of Israel. They should be treated with more respect.”
In the video I saw an anarchist attacking a soldier. I ask: why was she not arrested? We must stop this chaos, we must support our soldiers and police. I see the anarchists coming to Hebron, confronting our soldiers, biting them and pushing them. We have to stop this situation.”
It’s time to form a government here that supports the fighters and allows them to act. There are mistakes, red lines that have been crossed, when I saw the chaotic attack and push of a soldier, when I heard from the soldier’s family that they came and insulted the soldiers, spit on them, where are we going? “
“I give everyone a chance. Whoever supports the government’s policy will surely stay in power for a long time. I want to restore governance and security on the streets and support our soldiers and police. We saw the terrible incident in Holon, These things must stop. The police must act against the vandals.”
“It happens so often on the roads of the State of Israel, that innocent citizens face this intimidation, vandalism and barbarism. It must stop.”
“The women are afraid to go to the mall in Ramla He attacks a young man in a yarmulke for being a Jew. Families are afraid to go to the wall. We have to change that and bring safety back to the streets. That’s what I’m here for.”
“Except tasks assigned to me I will ascend to the Temple Mount, In order to put an end to this racist attitude of preventing the Jew from coming there. The Temple Mount is the most important place for the people of Israel. I will climb the Temple Mount, but I will not deny anyone the right to climb. Jews have rights throughout the State of Israel. . “
Regarding my attitude towards women in the Israeli army and members of the LGBT community, it is clear: I am the son of an officer’s mother in the Israeli army, and I am not from a religious family, and at the same time I think that having men serving before women is a problem. To the question if I have a gay son, what would my reaction be? I will embrace it without a doubt, we are not in a totalitarian country. “
