This is from the Refuser Solidarity Network – IDF members who have refused duty.
Dear Stevie
Atalya Ben-Abba here, media manager at Refuser Solidarity Network. Last week, the Israeli daily Haaretz published a brutal yet predictable exposé: Israeli soldiers were given explicit orders to shoot at unarmed Palestinians waiting at Gaza aid distribution sites. Soldiers are now coming forward to share what they witnessed and what they were told to do. These orders, to shoot into crowds at humanitarian aid drop points, are not accidental misfires. They are part of a pattern. And now, the truth is rising to the surface. This moment matters, because what we do with these cracks will shape what comes next. Which is why you should send this email to a friend who should be paying attention. Ask them to sign up to our subscribers list and follow this movement.
The latest reports remove any room for doubt: “It’s a killing field,” one soldier said. “Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They’re treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars. Then, once the center opens, the shooting stops, and they know they can approach. Our form of communication is gunfire.”
The soldiers speaking out in Haaretz aren’t radicals. They’re not activists. Many of them are still in uniform. But they are disturbed by the war crimes and abuses many of them have taken part in carrying out, and they are beginning to talk. This is exactly where disobedience begins: when orders no longer make sense, and when conscience becomes louder than nationalist illusion.
These testimonies point to something deeper: The war is unraveling. The official narratives are collapsing. Soldiers are losing faith in the mission. What we’re seeing isn’t just a moral rupture, it’s an operational one. It’s in these cracks that refusal can take hold. But only if we are organized enough to respond.
At RSN, we are working every day to meet this moment: tracking these stories, sharing them in international media, translating soldier testimonies, and supporting the emotional and legal needs of those willing to take the next step and refuse.
As we’ve said from the beginning: there is no occupation without soldiers. And as soldiers speak out, and begin to resist—publicly or quietly—they need to know they’re not alone. Despite the outrage and anger directed at them for their participation in a livestreamed genocide, we believe in providing them a way out, to refuse service, and to participate in resistance to the war. We’re ready to support any new refusers, and we need you to support us.
Thank you for helping us build the structures that make that possible.
In solidarity,
Atalya Ben-Abba
