Reservist injured in Gaza war calls for others to join protests against government

The next speaker to take the stage in Tel Aviv is Lt. Or Scheinberg, an officer in the 7th Armored Brigade who was injured seriously during the war.

“This is our opportunity to renew the contract we have between ourselves,” Scheinberg says. “We, Jews and Arabs, the right and the left, will do this together.”

“I call on the most failed government [in our] history: leave,” Scheinberg continues.

“While we the reservists are carrying this country on our shoulders, this criminal government is sitting behind us. I call all reservists who may not feel comfortable protesting during a war to do so. I will come to the frontlines whenever I am called because I love my country, but join me now to protest this government.”

“The slogan ‘together we will win’ is repeated a lot, so let me say first that together we will enlist and only then together we will win,” he says, referring to the new draft bill.
