6,075 acceptances of soldiers were submitted during the year 2022 - this is according to the report of the Commission for Acceptance of Soldiers in the IDF today (Wednesday). Malshabim.
According to the data, there is a significant increase of 350% in the number of group acceptances submitted.
According to the report, 58% of the processed admissions were found to be justified.
Acting Brigadier General Racheli Tevet Wiesel, the Soldier Acceptability Commissioner, said this week that the leading issue in the report this year as well is command-commander relationships, which make up 40% of acceptability. who recently finished an officer's course," she testifies.
"It bothers me because when I look at the nature of acceptance even before verbal and physical violence, I see a disregard for individual rights. For example, when a soldier turns to his commander and says: 'I have a medical referral,' and the young commander says, 'But we have a range, you can't go out ' or 'You work for me,' so it doesn't reach the M.G.D."
Tevet-Wiesel also said, "A really psychotic example of a soldier who turns to a young commanding officer, a sergeant major, and says: 'I have an invitation to my sister's wedding,' and the young officer Says 'I can't approve you because you are known as a lone soldier'. It's absurd in every way. It's both just stupidity and not knowing the orders."

Another issue addressed by the Soldier Acceptance Commissioner is physical and verbal violence, "Physically it's really beatings, slaps and kicks. Verbally it started with curses and harsh expressions to even racist expressions. Calling your soldier a 'Negro' is an expression that is harsh on the part of a commander, even if he tells me After all, it's the soldier I like the most. An injury is an injury. The same goes for various homophobic expressions that the commanders say they have no problem with - it doesn't matter.
This style of speaking is an offensive style."
Another interesting increase is in the number of group acceptances. "When I tell you 6,075 acceptances, I am counting acceptances, not people," she explains. "For example, there was one acceptance that dealt with the first uniform of the female soldiers, a very justified acceptance in my opinion. About how the uniforms of the female soldiers look that show off their lowered limbs.
This acceptance is signed by more than a thousand female soldiers.
I counted it as one equivalent."

Because I have a male genitalia between my legs and you don't" and a disciplinary officer who jokingly called a soldier "gay", "garbage" and "shemale".

In two other cases, a soldier from the Ethiopian community called the kitchen "Beasley", and a soldier who asked his commander why he was required to perform cleaning tasks responded with humor "Because you're black." "I do see comments from commanders who think it's funny and nice to call someone a 'Negro'.
It's not funny and it's not nice and it also needs to be eradicated," said Tevet-Wiesel.
In another case, a soldier in mandatory service complained that her commanding officer had talked to her father and told him that she was in a romantic relationship with a permanent non-Jewish man, which caused a conflict between her and her parents.

Regarding the medical services, the Soldier Acceptance Commissioner defined the issue as "one of the most difficult things in the report".
"This issue mainly concerns the bookkeepers.
There are claims related to the behavior of medical officials, but this is not the main issue.
The main thing here is that there is a lack of cabanam."
The report shows that in the past year, many dozens of soldiers have complained about delays in holding a meeting with the CBN, which resulted, most of all, from a lack of mental health officers. For example, the counterpart of a female soldier in mandatory service revealed that there was a seven-month delay in making an appointment with the CBN."
The last topic the report dealt with was infrastructure and living. "I see broken toilets, walls with mold, no sinks, leaks, fungus, really disgusting.
There are bases that simply refuse to hang around there.
There are bases that have made a significant improvement," said the Soldier Acceptance Commissioner. "Regarding food - there are no hungry soldiers.
The issue is not the quantities.
The subject is food that is sometimes dirty, sometimes inedible,
