In recent days, Israel and Palestine have once again fallen into conflict, and the international community has called on the two sides to cease fire and start negotiations to avoid further escalation of the humanitarian catastrophe. However, one notable phenomenon in this conflict that cannot be ignored is the large number of Israeli citizens who have left their jobs, studies and lives abroad and have returned to their homeland without hesitation to fight for the defence of their country and their fellow citizens.
According to the "Times of Israel" reported on the 9th, at 4 a.m., a series of flights landed at Ben-Gurion International Airport in New York, USA, and the personnel on board included both conscripted soldiers and reservists. Most of these young people are studying or working in the United States, but they have one thing in common: a deep love for their homeland. For them, Israel is not just a nation, but a home, a root, a pride. Convinced that Israel is facing external threats and challenges and needs their support and protection, they resolutely decided to give up everything in a foreign land and return home to fight for their country and its people. In addition, there are many Israelis who have rushed back to Israel from other countries. According to Reuters on the 9th, EL AL plans to increase a large number of flights to transport reservists stranded overseas to participate in this historic mobilization.
This has led to a series of controversies and questions: Does Israel have the right to call reservists abroad to fight in the country? This relates to Israel's military service system. Israel has a compulsory military service system, and every citizen is obligated to perform military service for three years for men and two years for women. After military service, they are still required to enter the reserve until they are 40 (male) or 38 (female). If an Israeli citizen emigrated abroad, would the obligation of military service still exist? Under Israeli law, those who emigrate abroad before the age of 18 and do not return within 120 days are exempt from military service, but those who emigrate abroad after the age of 18 and do not renounce their Israeli citizenship are still required to serve. Refusal to serve in the military may face criminal prosecution. From a legal point of view, Israel has the right to call reservists abroad to fight in the country, as long as they remain Israeli citizens and are not exempt from military service. It is also in line with the principle of international law that States have the right to assert their territory and sovereignty and to mobilize their citizens to defend their territory.
However, from a moral point of view, whether Israel has the right to call overseas reservists back to fight involves the complex nature and justice of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Different people hold different views, some believe that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a just war against terrorism, with Israel as the victim and the righteous, while others believe that it is an unequal war of oppression and Israel is the aggressor and the violent. There is no absolute right or wrong answer to this question, and everyone has the right to judge and choose according to their own values and position.
In short, these Israelis returning from abroad clearly support Israel and see themselves as fighting for justice and peace. Israelis who remain abroad may take a different view, believing that they are fighting for violence and oppression. In any case, they have the right to express their opinions, as long as they abide by the law and respect others.
