Lichvod Rabbanei Hesder Yeshivot and Rabbanim, amv"sh
Please once again be strong and SPEAK UP forcefully as you did before in December 2009.
Petition of Hesder Yeshiva Educators in Support of R. Melamed
Rabbanei Hesder must unite and protest vehemently the treatment of Haim Greenwald from Beit El. We are all Har Bracha! The IDF has lost its moral compass. This soldier accurately reflects the position of the Hesder Yeshivot! Will the IDF risk losing it's best soldiers en masse?
They can bully one kid and even a Yeshiva but they can not bully all the Yeshivot united. G-d will provide. If all the Rabbanei Hesder Yeshivot speak out strongly and forcefully against forced evacuation of families from their homes in Judea and Samaria and ask their students who are soldiers to disobey such immoral orders, this will strengthen the IDF and the security of Israel since immoral orders weaken the IDF.
Perhaps those that jail soldiers for an unwillingness to obey immoral IDF orders should have a taste of their medicine. (Just a taste and not the real thing) How would they feel if their own family members, soldiers, had orders to expel them from their own home followed by orders of destruction to their homes?
My wish for them is that these soldiers would refuse to obey such immoral orders.
What scares me is what can happen in jail to innocent ideological young kids.
In the New York Review of Books they reviewed a book entitled "The Rape of the American Prisoners".
I am not accusing anyone but let us not be naive as per what can happen in jail. This knowledge is important for prevention of any misconduct!
In the past they have used tactics that compromise tzniyut and forbade the observance of Torah and Mitzvot in order to break the moral spirit of such prisoners. I have no idea how low they will stoop. Past reports of treatment of kids for ideological dissidence is upsetting. Please read

Haim Risks His Life For Us -- Now Let's Help Him
While accused pro-Palestinian spy Anat Kam is relaxing at home, an unassuming combat soldier called Haim Greenwald has been sentenced to 28 days imprisonment.
His crime? Continuing to study in a yeshiva - Har Bracha yeshiva. The yeshiva follows the ruling of former Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Avrahama Shapira and former IDF and Israel Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren and does not participate in deportation of Jews.
Defense Minister Barak has decided not to allow religious freedom to combat soldiers like Haim and consequently, Haim is now in prison.
If you are shocked by this disparity, take action. If Prime Minister Netanyahu breaks his silence and personally persuades Barak that this is a disgusting embarrassment for the world's only democratic Jewish state, the problem can easily be solved.
So please contact Mr. Netanyahu - you might for example say: YOUR COMBAT SOLDIER HAIM NEEDS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM! PLS HELP HIM - THANKS.
Or explain your feelings in your own words. For daytime phone-numbers - see Hebrew above. 24-hr/day fax numbers and email addresses are also above.

Thank you very much for helping brave Haim and strengthening the State of Israel by joining Haim's strong stance
