After the Prime Minister's outrageous comparison, in which he compared the protesters against the legal reform to the Havara rioters, the commander of the Air Force publishes today (Friday) his first public support for the protesters.
"The last few weeks are shaking all sectors of Israeli society, and the reservists of the Air Force are not spared either," the letter reads.
"I will not reprimand you if I say that you, the reservists, are an integral part of the strength of the Air Force. My friends, you are the volunteers for an active reserve service for a long time - committed, dedicated, sacrificing for the realization of the heavy tasks on our shoulders.
"And deal with the variety of meanings and implications. I respect the deliberation.
Besides, my expectation, as the commander of the corps as well as the commanders by my side, is that you will continue to reach the squadrons and units.
That you will continue to serve and fulfill the commitment to the squadron, to the unit to the commanders and commanders, to the State of Israel, to its security
and to the protection of its citizens. Show commitment and responsibility for the cohesion of the ranks, the soldiers and the brotherhood of the fighters.
There is no substitute for you.
I will state to you the obvious - the IDF and the Air Force within it operate according to the orderly operational axis, according to the
moral standards and according to the values and spirit of the IDF, without any change. I will stand For this all along, as always.
In recent days, voices have been heard towards our reserve men, saying out loud - you are the defenders of the country,
precious, valuable, responsible people, you have sacrificed and sacrificed your time, your family, even your life. I will not lend a hand to drawing
your image fair.
"I am committed to you,
I am committed to the competence of the Air Force,
I am determined to maintain this with you at all costs.
I call on you to continue to report to the reserve service, as you have done so far.
This is my responsibility, and that of all of us."
