Singer and Fauda star Idan Amedi, who was injured during his reserve service, sharply criticized a forthcoming petition reportedly signed by several Israeli creatives to stop the war in Gaza.
The petition was allegedly signed by Israeli celebrities such as Chava Alberstein, Gidi Gov, and Oshik Levi. Israeli media reported that the full petition will be published within the coming days.
Amedi called the petition “detached and fake news.”
“Every home in Gaza is filled with antisemitic, anti-Jewish propaganda. From images of ‘martyrs’ to stickers saying, ‘With blood and fire we will reach Jerusalem,’” he wrote.
“A group of privileged people echoing stupidity, ignorance, and lies. There is no other army in the world that operates in such a densely populated area with such a low civilian casualty rate. This is proven - go check.”
“On a day when we see our brothers in 2025 as ‘Muselmann’ digging their own graves underground,” he added, referring to the video Gaza terror groups released of two hostages over the weekend.
He also referenced the term Muselmann, which was used during the Holocaust to describe Jewish prisoners in Nazi concentration camps who were starved to the brink of death.
“Go into a tunnel. Fight for one day like tens of thousands of reservists, and then sign a petition. You’re worthless - I’ve had enough of you.”
Petition blames Israel for starving Gazans
“Our country is starving the people of Gaza to death and contemplating the forced removal of millions of Palestinians from the Strip,” the letter says, as reported by KAN.
“We, Israelis dedicated to a peaceful future for our country and our Palestinian neighbors, write this with grave shame, in rage and in agony.”
While the petition is rumored, over 30 Israeli artists and intellectuals signed a letter to the Guardian calling for an end to the war.
The signatories included Academy Award recipient Yuval Abraham, former attorney-general Michael Ben-Yair, former speaker of the Knesset and former Jewish Agency head Avraham Burg, and former MK Tamar Gozansky.
“Our country is starving the people of Gaza to death and contemplating the forced removal of millions of Palestinians from the Strip,” the letter alleges.
“We, Israelis dedicated to a peaceful future for our country and our Palestinian neighbors, write this with grave shame, in rage and in agony,” it states.
