🇱🇧l🇮🇱 25% decline in reserve soldiers willing to join the IDF again: We are tired

(Quoted as is from a Jewish journalist)

There has been a significant decline in the rate of reserve soldiers showing up for duty in recent weeks compared to the start of the war.

At the start of the war, the IDF reported that more than 100% of reservists called up for duty had shown up.

In recent weeks, the turnout rate in the reservist units currently fighting in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip has varied between 75% and 85%, according to defense sources.

The decline has been attributed by senior officers to burnout among reservists after fighting for over a year of war, along with them being away from their families for extended periods, losing jobs, or missing academic studies.

It has also been attributed to the failure of the country to draft masses of the ultra-Orthodox community, while the national religious and secular communities serve at high rates.

🇮🇱 Jobs wise, you can see Israeli media everywhere begging to help reserve soldiers.

Some are setting up GoFundMe, others are trying to help their bankrupted business because they have left them to go kill civilians in Lebanon and Gaza.

These two ugly bastards, one is a Belarusian who came to Israel to serve in the army, is promoting his products to help with the 🦨 stink.

This is a mass phenomenon, not just few cases. Israel arrogantly has dragged the war for one year, and is still dragging it longer without wanting to compromise.

And it'll only cause more exhaustion for them, exhaustion to one of the top 10 militaries in the world, and the US-EU backed economy

🇺🇸 Mike Huckabee in 2017: “There is no such thing as West Bank.”

Trump gave Israel the Syrian lands in the Golan Heights, officially annexing it. Next is the West Bank.

And with Gaza now under Israel war and genocide, Trump might be the factor to accelerate the end of the Palestinian statehood if Israel wins this war.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 It's as if the IDF knows nothing but lies.

Statement: "intercepted or in open area"
📸 The two who where killed in Nahariyya are one Lebanese and one Israeli.

Ziv Belfer (52) and Shimon Nejam (54).

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 The Lebanese that was killed in Nahariyya is Simone Najem.

He was a former soldier in the mercenary militia South Lebanon Army, which supported the Israeli occupation of south Lebanon and was part of torturing prisoners, until the withdrawal in 2000 where he escaped to Israel

I wonder if his family will ask for his body to be buried in Lebanon, as usual.

🇺🇸 Trump names Steven Witkoff to be Special Envoy to the Middle East.

Just make it make sense. Another Jew to lead a senior US position. A Jew to lead the US policy in a geography where Jews are a minority. A clear bias again for Israel over any other consideration.

Make it make sense.

🇮🇱l🇺🇸l🇵🇸 NEW: The Biden administration confirms Israel will face no policy consequences for the lack of aid getting into Gaza following Blinken’s threat to potentially withdraw military assistance if key demands aren’t met in 30 days.

The US demanded 300 aid trucks a day. Israel is sending less then 30 a day. Did I ever mention how much I hate the USA?

What's worse is that the aid that comes, many is stolen by gangs supported by the IDF.

This week Hamas attacked their vehicle, killing them, and aid reached people without being stolen.

The aid that does arrive, the IDF happens to crush it with bulldozers like in this video in Jabalia, after the Israeli army advanced again there.

A soldier who has a family, decided to run over aid and destroy it. Then go back home to his family, smile, and sleep without thinking anything of it.
