Occupied al-Quds
The Hebrew newspaper Maariv revealed on Saturday the growing discontent within the ranks of the Israeli enemy army and the depth of the crisis caused by the issue of the conscription of the Haredim.
In statements to the newspaper, soldiers in the Israeli enemy army expressed their dissatisfaction with the conscription policy pursued by the government of the war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court, Netanyahu, saying: "The government sends us to the battlefields in Gaza, while exempting tens of thousands of Haredim from military service."
The soldiers considered their government "powerless and weak in the face of pressure from Haredi rabbis and politicians," noting that "this discrimination places an increasing burden on soldiers in the field."
Maariv also quoted soldiers expressing their fear that the continuation of the fighting, without solutions or real support, "will gradually exhaust us to the point of collapse." They called for a comprehensive review of current policies in light of the heroic operations of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
Israeli enemy media had previously reported on a severe shortage of manpower among the Israeli forces, which had prompted the call-up of soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to participate in the ongoing military operations.
Haaretz quoted a military commander as saying, "Because of our soldiers' lack of commitment to combat, we are forced to recruit people who are not in a normal psychological state." He added, "We fight with what is available, even if we are certain that their psychological state is unstable."
