Arutz 7 in Hebrew [http://www.inn.co.il/News/News.aspx/195691] screened a short video showing yesterday’s swearing-in ceremony of soldiers from the Kfir infantry brigade at the Kotel in Jerusalem. Such ceremonies are usually very emotional, with family members and friends attending, as the new soldiers complete their basic training.
Such a ceremony is very symbolic, with the new soldiers proclaiming their willingness to give their lives for their people and for their country. However, in recent years soldiers have been called on to betray their land, Eretz Yisrael. Such orders given to expel Jews from their homes and their land are still being issued and implemented. Recently soldiers from the Shimshon unit of Kfir have been ordered to expel Jews from Homesh 10 times, including on Shabbat, Rosh HaShana Eve, and Yom Kippur Eve.
Yesterday, the newly inducted warriors declared their allegiance, not only to the State of Israel, but also the Eretz Yisrael and to G-d, by waving banners, during the ceremony, which read, “No to expulsions from Homesh.” Family members and friends in the attending audience also waved such banners, which were forcibly taken by police and security forces at the site.
Thank G-d for such brave, healthy young men, who understand the value of Eretz Yisrael and the value of saying ‘no’ to such illegal commands, ordering expulsion of Jews from their land and home. Yesterday’s act was particularly significant, taking place at the Kotel, adjacent the the holiest place in the world, Har HaBayit – Temple Mount and the Holy-of-Holies.
It’s no secret the previous Prime Ministers have offered this very site to our enemies, who claim it as their own. These soldiers have made it clear: We will not have any part of expulsions, evictions, or other such immoral actions, in Homesh, Jerusalem or anywhere else.
The army is threatening to dismiss these soldiers from the IDF following ‘suitable punishment.’ What a waste! These are our true fighters, motivated and talented, willing to give their lives for their land, their people and their
G-d. This is the real IDF.
Kol HaKavod!!!
