The Women in Green nationalist organization responded Sunday night to the ouster of the Har Bracha Yeshiva from the Hesder program by saying, "Our sons remain loyal to the Land of Israel. As mothers of sons in the army, a large part of them from Hesder frameworks, we back Rabbi Eliezer Melamed and don't understand why the Har Bracha Yeshiva, under his direction, was removed from the arrangement."
A statement by the group continued, "We hereby proclaim that our sons will not expel Jews from the homeland, in spite of [Defense Minister] Ehud Barak's punishment and sanctions. Our sons receive their instruction for loyalty to the Land of Israel primarily at home - and that cannot be wiped out."
