Etting's words caused great shock among the supporters of the reform but also among the left side of the political map, for her statement that pilots should know that they "can kill children".
Ofer Cassif, a member of the Knesset from the Hadash party, wrote on his Twitter account: "The protest of 'Brothers to Arms' and its spokesmen, such as the famous former Shin Bet agent Dvir Kariv, the son of the nationalist center, is not for democracy but for the freedom of action of war criminals while protecting against International law. There is no democracy with the murder of children. There is no democracy with ethnic cleansing and with the erasure of a people and its symbols, there is no democracy with occupation!"
Nir Avishai Cohen, former 'Breaking the Silence' spokesperson, also responded to Etting's words. "A shocking statement by Shira Etting, which points to the fighting ethics of the IDF in the territories. It is forbidden to bomb houses with children. point. It has nothing to do with who is the defense minister and who is the prime minister."
A wave of incitement against the State of Israel has also begun in the world. In the Arab world they repeated their false claims as if Israel was killing children.
