Israeli military veterans, a backbone of protest movement, vow to keep demonstrating

I'm kinda surprised by these soldiers taking a stand like this... I mean, they've seen some crazy stuff on the battlefield, but I guess that just makes them more determined to protect their country now . But at the same time, aren't they overstepping their bounds by getting involved in politics? I don't know, it's all kinda confusing to me... are they trying to be heroes or something?

And what really gets me is that these soldiers are basically saying that Israel needs to become more like America, which isn't gonna solve anything for them. Can't they just focus on their own country and its problems instead of comparing it to someone else's?

But wait, I was just thinking... maybe this whole thing is a good thing? Maybe these soldiers are trying to shake things up and bring about some real change. That would be pretty cool, actually . Unless... unless they're just being naive and don't realize the complexity of the situation. Hmm

I'm low-key impressed by these veteran soldiers who are leading the charge against the gov's overhaul plan . I mean, these guys have seen some real stuff in combat zones and now they're using those skills to mobilize and organize the crowds. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we know how to get the job done, let's use that to fight for what's right!"

I think it's sick that they're not just fighting for themselves, but for the values and principles of the country . And I love how they're using symbolism like carrying a figure wrapped in the Israeli flag on a stretcher through the crowds - it's like they're saying, "We're not just fighting for our rights, we're fighting for our nation's soul!"

The gov's response is pretty weak tho . Pausing the legislation and citing security concerns? That's just a delaying tactic if you ask me . These soldiers are willing to take a stand and fight for what they believe in, even if it means not training or serving unless their demands are met .

I'm all for them pushing on with their protests until they get the outcome they want . It's clear that they won't be silenced anytime soon, and I think that's something we can all get behind

Ugh, can we talk about how cringeworthy this whole situation is? Like seriously, who needs a bunch of old guys in military gear showing up to protests and being all dramatic about it? I mean, I get it, they're passionate about democracy and justice, but can't they just have a respectful conversation with the government instead of staging a public spectacle? And what's with the whole "we'll deactivating our training unless the gov backs down" thing... isn't that just a fancy way of saying "we're holding you hostage"? It's all so cliché and over-the-top. Can we please just have a rational discussion about this instead of resorting to theatrics?

I think this plan is a good thing, gonna make Israel super efficient and stuff . I mean, who needs a bunch of old guys in robes deciding what's best for everyone? It's time for some real leadership, you know? And yeah, the government's pause on the legislation is exactly what it should do - take its sweet time and really think about what they're doing. Can't rush a good thing, right?

This veteran soldier is literally fighting for what he believes in and using his military experience to mobilize people! It's so inspiring to see ex-combatants like Yiftach Golov taking a stand against the government overhaul plan . The fact that they're not just protesting, but also refusing to train or serve unless their demands are met is a clear sign of their commitment . I'm loving how diverse the protest movement is, with different groups and factions working together towards a common goal . It's going to be super interesting to see how this all plays out . One thing for sure, these veterans aren't backing down anytime soon . The government may have paused the legislation, but it looks like the people won't stop fighting for their democracy .
