WEST BANK (Dispatches) –
Recent poll shows massive support for reservists’ refusal of military service in protest against Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s so-called judicial reforms, Quds Press reported .
The poll, whose results were published by Ynet News, showed that 70 percent of the opposition supported reservists who refuse military services in protest against Netanyahu’s judicial changes.
At the same time, the poll found that 31 percent of right-wingers support the reservists who reject military services, while 87 percent of left-wingers declared their support for the walkouts of the reservists.
This came just one day after the Zionist regime’s air force reinstated a reservist colonel who had been dismissed for trying to organize walkouts from training flights to protest against the regime’s planned judicial change.
Zionist Air Force Chief Major General Tomer Bar said the colonel “took upon himself inappropriate authority in his contact with the IAF pilots.
Unionizing to synchronize absence from service, though coming from good intentions, is forbidden.”
The colonel represented 37 reservist pilots and navigators from an F-15 squadron who have said they would skip a training day.
Meanwhile, more than 250 U.S. business leaders and politicians warned in an open letter on Sunday evening that the occupying regime’s judicial overhaul will make it “increasingly difficult” to defend the regime internationally.
“Many leaders in the business community will feel compelled to reevaluate their reliance on Israel,” business leaders warned in their open letter.
The occupying regime is in the midst of a political crisis that has pitted Netanyahu’s far-right cabinet against the civil society, academic and business elite, and former ministers and military figures.
“We want to express our deep dismay over proposed changes to the judiciary and legal system,” warned the signatories, adding that “the division within the regime over this issue is destabilizing and, of course, disheartening.”
Among the signatories were former U.S. treasury undersecretary Jeffrey Goldstein, Tom Glocer, a former Thomson Reuters CEO and several other senior former U.S. government officials. The names of many other business leaders were not disclosed.
