Refusing a Mad and Evil Order by Rabbi Shlomo Aviner
HAAretz, Oct. 20 ...Yesterday, however, Aviner said the article had been misread as permission for "gray refusal." His statements, he said, were not intended as instructions for soldiers, but as a warning to commanders about the situation in which they would be placing religious soldiers.
