Reserve soldiers strongly opposed to Gaza aid and hostage deal - poll

When asked about the prospect of a hostage deal with Hamas at all costs, a striking 72 percent expressed their opposition, emphasizing their readiness to enter Rafah regardless of the negotiations.

A recent survey conducted by the Direct Polls Institute sheds light on the opinions of reserve duty officers in Israel regarding the ongoing conflict with Hamas and the situation in Gaza.

The survey, commissioned by the Regavim movement, interviewed 512 reservists who served during the Swords of Iron War, representing various segments of Israeli society.



Moreover, the survey highlights a strong stance against the entry of humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza, with only 9 percent of respondents supporting the initiative. A staggering 90 percent of reservists oppose such aid, with a third willing to consider alternative terms to ensure that the aid does not reach Hamas.

Their depredations on Palestinians in the West Bank have being going on for years, with many stories of deliberate humiliations intended to cause Palestinians to react so they can attack and possibly kill them, including children. A couple of months ago, they shot an 8-year-old in the back of the head as he was running from them. He was no threat. They just murdered him because they can do so with impunity. They attack refugee camps there almost nightly not because there is unrest but because they can. Some time ago, David Ignatius reported on the daily persecution of West Bank Palestinians by the IDF. I’ll see if I can find the article.

If it polled anyone it was those that support their believes .
No self respecting secular would have anything to do with them .
The poll is bullshit .

We have our own organization called " Brothers in Arms "
