An officer who refused to report whether she was vaccinated was outraged that she was fired • IDF Spokesman: "In order to prevent illness, we refrain from summoning reservists who are not vaccinated to the course"
A reserve officer who was a member of a group that opposes corona vaccines called "Shout No to Green Passport" revealed over the weekend that she was expelled from a course because she refused to reveal whether she was vaccinated or not.
The officer is a reservist and was supposed to attend a Home Front Command course.
Ahead of the day of preparation for the information officers' course, the reservists were required to declare whether we had been vaccinated or not, which angered the female soldier.
"Section 1 is illegal in any way, to demand or ask, and whoever forces me or someone against his will or gives the day off in doing so, will receive a letter of claim from a lawyer," she wrote to the officer who summoned her to the course.
In response, the officer clarified to her that "the course is a green mark for everything, so anyone who is not vaccinated or a substitute can not participate in it. You do not have to tell us if you have been vaccinated but if you have not been vaccinated you can not be in the course.
The soldier was furious.
"I am not interested in giving you my medical information, period, and whoever takes me out of the course or discriminates in one way or another ... will receive a lawsuit that starts at NIS 50,000 and can reach much more."
"I will not give any discrimination a hand, and whoever is responsible for such discrimination will pay big. I am willing to be dragged with him to court for years. There is no directive from the State of Israel regarding the IDF.
You are not a gym, a cultural show or a house of prayer.
Do not invent rules and do not pray for me.
If that happens, the lawsuit will be filed against you and your commander in person. "
The surfers in the Facebook group "shouting no to the green passport" sided with the author of the post.
"I am so proud of you, you are a true champion. We need more people like this in the world. Stand up for yourself. Shame on this headquarters," wrote one of the surfers.
On the other hand, screenshots posted outside the group garnered hundreds of comments against the author.
The only consolation that came to this woman's priority before she entered the course.
There is no place in the Tzahali course for those who prioritize their own rights over the rest, "wrote a surfer. Another added:" I am glad that my taxes do not pay reserve days for this delusion and only take care of the highest quality. "
The IDF said in response that "in order to prevent coronary heart disease among servicemen, and according to IDF guidelines on the subject, the IDF has refrained from summoning reservists who are not vaccinated for such courses."
