Migron Thanks Soldier who Refused Orders

Arutz Sheva ^ | 6/9/11

[Eleutheria5]

Several residents from Migron have signed a petition thanking a soldier who refused orders to demolish homes in the town. They called on other soldiers to do the same.

The petition accused the government of turning the IDF “from the Israel defense army to a political army, thus dealing a blow to human rights and our rights as citizens.”

B-b-b-b-but what about social justice?/sarc

[samtheman]

No word as to the makeup of the town, or the residents, or the homes to be demolished... I’m guessing they are all Israeli settlers.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

I bet so.

[montag813]

Any Jew who helps to destroy any home in Eretz Yisroel is committing treason.

a soldier who refused orders to demolish homes in the town. They called on other soldiers to do the same.

Yes, because the most effective fighting force is one in which large numbers of soldiers refuse to follow orders.

“Yes, because the most effective fighting force is one in which large numbers of soldiers refuse to follow orders.”

And we need an effective fighting force to beat those bloodthirsty Israeli “settlers” (mitnahalim). How else can we have piece with the piece-loving Palestinians, except by driving out these warmongers, who sadistically live in Judah and Samariah, raise crops and children, and...and...gasp! Organ music—build houses where the Israeli government actively encouraged them to do so.

Soldier Punished for Refusing to Expel

A Kfir Brigade soldier who refused to expel Jews from their homes in Ramat Migron has been punished. The soldier was sentenced to 20 days’ detention on base.

The IDF arrested several Jewish youths from Ramat Migron on Saturday after a Palestinian Authority Arab child said Jews had beaten him. Two hours later, forces destroyed the outpost.

Of course, the Migron settlers, in a calm, rational response, set a mosque on fire nearby.

Link to story, please.

Never mind. I found it, and no mention of so much as a hint of evidence that it was done by Migron residents, “of course”:

I do things the old-fashioned way; I have a paper notebook and pen, where I make notes about stories that interest me. I strip out all the opinions of second and third parties and write down the facts. I don’t copy down URLs, but I’m glad you found the appropriate story.

[GAB-1955]

Just a point of view: Israelnationalnews is a pro-settler news source, and you have to keep that in mind when they write about settlements and balance it with another Israeli news source such as Ha’aretz or the Jerusalem Post. If both sources agree, the news is trustworthy.

[Eleutheria5]

I’ll read other news sources, but usually can tell a misleading statement on its face, wherever I see it, with good old fashioned logic. That’s why I am not averse to reading Haaretz, so long as I’m not eating. I generally prefer INN because it is pro-settler, so can also eat.
