Yesha Rabbis Against Refusal to Fight
19:30 Aug 08, '06 / 14 Av 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Leading rabbis in Judea and Samaria stated Tuesday afternoon that Jewish law prohibits soldiers from refusing to fight the retaliatory war against Hizbullah terrorists. The statement was made shortly after the sister of a fallen soldier, during her eulogy of him, publicly called for a former chief rabbi of the IDF to leave the funeral. She went on to call for refusal.

Rabbi Dov Lior, the rabbi of Kiryat Arba, said fighting in the war is a mitzvah.

Many supporters of Jewish life in Judea and Samaria have vehemently objected to a comment made last week by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that victory in the retaliatory war will pave the way for further expulsions. Many have called for refusals, saying it does not make sense for a soldier to fight in order to be expelled from his home. Olmert since has said he is sorry he made that statement.

Last week, one soldier was killed in action several months after police kicked and beat him in an anti-expulsion demonstration.
