(24. Juli) As Israel pledges to continue the assault on Gaza for „as long as is required,“ we are joined by two Israelis who have refused to serve in their country’s military reserves. On Tuesday, The Washington Post ran an open letter authored by Yael Even Or titled „We are Israeli reservists. We refuse to serve,“ announcing that more than 50 former Israeli soldiers have signed a petition declaring their refusal to be part of the Israeli military reserves. „This petition, long in the making, has a special urgency because of the brutal military operation now taking place in our name,“ Even Or writes.
