Singer, actor, and wounded IDF reservist Idan Amedi unleashes a fierce takedown of Israeli artists calling for a halt to the Gaza war, accusing them of spreading lies and being dangerously disconnected from reality.
Israeli singer and beloved TV star Idan Amedi — who nearly lost his life fighting in Gaza — has delivered a blistering public rebuke to a group of Israeli artists who signed a petition demanding an immediate halt to Israel’s military campaign.
Amedi, still recovering from serious combat wounds sustained in IDF operations, accused the petitioners of living in a privileged fantasy world while Israeli soldiers risk their lives in terrorist-infested tunnels to prevent another October 7.
💥 “You’re Spreading Lies and Ignorance”
“You are disconnected and spreading fake news,” Amedi wrote in a searing social media post.
“Every home in Gaza is saturated with antisemitic, anti-Jewish propaganda — from images of shahids to stickers saying, ‘With blood and fire we will reach Jerusalem.’ You are just a group of privileged people who continue to echo stupidity, ignorance, and lies.”
🪖 A Soldier’s Perspective: The War You Don’t See
Amedi reminded the petitioners that no other army in the world operates with such tight operational restrictions to protect civilians — a fact independently verified by military ethics experts worldwide.
“Go check,” he challenged.
“On the day we see our brothers in 2025 as skeletal figures underground digging their own graves — go down into a tunnel. Fight for a day like tens of thousands of reservists, and only then sign petitions.”
🔥 “We’re Sick of You”
The wounded soldier‑turned‑performer ended his statement with a stinging condemnation:
“You’re worthless. We’re sick of you.”
His words quickly went viral, striking a deep chord among IDF reservists and their families who feel abandoned by what they see as elitist voices disconnected from Israel’s wartime reality.
🎯 Context: The Petition That Sparked the Clash
The petition, signed by several prominent Israeli cultural figures, calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, claiming Israel’s military actions are fueling an endless cycle of bloodshed.
Critics, however, argue that such demands reward Hamas terror and undermine Israel’s right to defend itself after the October 7 massacre.
