Druze scientist to Druze reservist soldiers: Don’t follow Liberman orders
The head of a Druze scientific organization calls on Druze reservist soldiers to refuse to participate in any missions ordered by Liberman as defense minister.
According to Dr. Amir Hanipas, Liberman’s prior comments about Arabs exempt Druze soldiers from obeying him.
“The Druze community is severing the blood covenant with Israel so as to uphold the covenant of life,” he says, Channel 10 reports.
“Liberman’s record is full of invective and racism and is diametrically opposed to the principles of life,” says Hanipas. “His previous fascistic comments do not allow [us] to remain in the system.”
