Yedidia, the son of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, published a post on his Facebook account this evening (Saturday) in which he harshly criticizes media figure Ben Caspit, and even said that he will sue him for his words - which implied that he had voluntarily resigned from the IDF.
Fast track or regular track: will you decide how to receive your money?
"Have a good week, son of Kaspit."
I usually try not to respond to the nonsense and nonsense of people who are full of hatred and little human respect, but I've learned that it's not worth leaving lies like yours in the air because sometimes a lie that is repeated becomes the truth for some people.
So here are the facts, and in the coming days you will receive a defamation lawsuit from me so that these facts will be clarified in court, the public will know the truth, and you will pay for your lies:
The things you said are nonsense and you took them out of context so that it would appear that I retired from my service as a soldier and that harsh statements were made against me by my company and team members and their parents.
I probably did more as a soldier than you did in the Armored Corps at the time (according to Wikipedia). I maneuvered in Lebanon at the brigade's large entrance to the "Al Khayam" ridge, I was in Syria for about four months and carried out many activities together with my company comrades in the "Tel Qudna" sector and the villages adjacent to it, in the well-known sector 720 and in the hostile villages nearby. We carried out many activities together many kilometers inland, we went through clashes and more.
True, right now, unfortunately, I cannot be a fighter. Not by choice, not because I wanted to, and especially not because I retired. I am not a fighter right now because of a wrong, stupid, and outrageous decision by the IDF.
I fought hard against the system and will continue to fight to return to my team - to the position I chose to enlist in and for which I was trained in the track. The Defense Comptroller's Office accepted my appeal against the IDF Medical System for choosing to unjustly lower my medical profile.
Against all the medical tests that showed that I was fit for combat, under an agreement with a central physician that if the tests were normal I would return, against a different opinion on the subject from a doctor of choice in the system who had already taken steps to make a different determination, after a lack of reporting of details in the medical protocol as they are required to do and after an improper medical procedure against me.
I never gave up, I never retired, and I never wanted to do that. My dream has always been to be a fighter in the Israel Defense Forces. I wanted to become a company commander and attend an officer course, and I still want to.
I will do everything in my power to return to my team, return to battle and realize the many values and ideals on which I grew up and will raise my children. To defend this homeland, to put a hand under the stretcher of the people of Israel, to be a line of defense - a first attack so that all the sons and daughters of Israel can sleep peacefully and, most importantly, to be even a small cog in the system so that the eternity of Israel will continue to exist - here. In our Land of Israel that we love the most.
"So don't tell me stories about warfare, about wanting to retire, and about what patriotism is. You will continue to slander, and I, forever and ever, will choose every morning to do everything I can to fight, protect, preserve, and sacrifice myself for the Israel Defense Forces out of love, respect, and a lot of ideals for this beautiful country and people. See you in court."
