The "Patch" uproar in the IDF

In the internal military sphere, the News Online channel reports on widespread protest among reserve forces. About 5,000 fighters sent a letter to the Chief of Staff demanding to cancel a prison sentence imposed on a fighter who wore a patch with the inscription "Mashiach" (Messiah). The fighters argue that this is "selective enforcement and damage to the motivation of the fighters at the front," while protesting the heavy hand taken against the fighters compared to other cases that they claim receive leniency.
