Tekst Matkal veteranen

Echte soldaten, geen brainless "Befehl ist Befehl"-types, sturen een brief aan Sharon. Volgens het "foute" deel van de Israelische bevolking moeten ze meteen aan de schandpaal.
To:
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
We, citizens who serve in active reserve duty, fighters and officers, Sayeret Matkal veterans, have also chosen to join the forward guard in the manner we have been trained. With grave concern for the future of Israel as a democratic Zionist and Jewish state, and with concern for her moral image –
We can no longer stand asside.
We tell you today:
- we shall no longer lend our hand to the subjugation taking place in the territories.
- We shall no longer lend our hand to the quelling of human rights of millions of Palestinians.
- We shall no longer serve as a defense shield for the settlements campaign.
- We shall no longer deface our human image as an army of occupation.
- We shall no longer deny our commitment as fighters in the Israel DEFENSE forces.
We fear for the destiny of the children of this land, exposed to an evil that is unnecessary, and to which we have lent our hands. We have long transgressed the border of soldiers, just in their ways, and have become warriors suppressing another nation.
We shall cross this border no more!
We stress and state: We shall continue to protect the State of Israel and the security of its people from all enemies.
"He who dares – wins."
