If they support terrorist - yes, if they fight them - no.
A bit of explanation - Almost every Israeli citizen is in army between ages
18-20. Almost every male Israeli citizen is either regular army or reservist
till 45-50 and sometimes later. Among my relatives there are people of
different political views, but none of them refused to serve in Army. Of
course I am proud of them. (*My* service was 1979-1981 regular and till 1984
in reserve)

<<On a side note, I do not believe the Israeli army cares whether or not
those family members are proud of their relative -- they are his family,
therefore their home is destroyed. I cannot imagine that the Israeli army
will first ask the family "are you proud of your relative", and immediately
leave
(without blowing up the house or shooting anyone) if the answer from the
family is "no".>>
