Nothing is Not an Option
Corporal Avi Bieber is now in an Israeli Army prison serving the maximum sentence of 56 days because he refused to beat Jews.
IDF Cpl. Avi Bieber became the first to refuse to take part in Sharon's evacuation of the Gaza Strip was motivated by a love of the G-d-given Land of Israel.
As violent scuffles ensued, Cpl. Avi Bieber, felt compelled to cry out against the beating of the protesters, young and old alike. "Soldiers do not beat Jews! A Jew does not expel a Jew!" Bieber cried out and refused orders after seeing his officers beating Jewish residents. He was immediately relieved of his weapon and taken into custody.
"Jews are hitting Jews here," Bieber told the television cameras as he was led to a waiting army jeep and taken into custody. "This is not right. This is not justice."
According to witnesses, although Bieber's refusal was the most public, fellow soldiers in his combat engineer unit shared his sentiments with regard to the task given to them. In fact, twelve of his comrades informed their commander that very evening of the fact that they refuse to take part in any future operations connected with the Disengagement Plan.
Cpl. Avi Bieber was sentenced to 56 days of imprisonment for allegedly insulting his commanders and refusing to fulfill orders. Last week, his 56 day sentence was cut in half due to flaws in the legal procedures preceding his speedy sentencing. Soon after, a second hearing was held and the IDF commander of the Gaza region added 28 days back to his sentence.
Cpl. Avi Bieber has made his stand against the abomination that is happening in Israel as its government gives in and gives over its land to create what can only become a terrorist state. Jews throughout the world are saddened and sickened to watch as Israel puts itself and its people at the mercy of the terrorists who are sworn to destroy Israel and kill all Jews.
The main street in the Gush Katif community of Gadid has been renamed Avi Bieber Road in recognition of the IDF soldier serving jail time for publicly refusing Disengagement orders.
Please visit Friends of Avi to express your support for this brave man.
