[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I Am Here to Refuse the Genocide”: Two Israeli Teens Get Prison Terms for Draft Resistance

Antiwar Israelis held a protest outside a military recruitment center in Ramat Gan Thursday in support of two 18-year-old draft resisters who announced they would refuse to enlist in Israel’s army. Ayana Gerstmann was sentenced to 30 days in a military prison for her refusal; Yuval Peleg received a 20-day sentence.

Ayana Gerstmann: “I can’t be a part of the war in Gaza, of the misery and suffer caused to so many people.”
Yuval Peleg: “I am here to refuse the genocide, first and foremost, to refuse to participate and to be complicit in genocide.”[/quote]

That’s not a long prison term for conscientious objectors.  Good for them for following their conscience rather than taking part in the intentional starvation of children.[/quote]

I wonder how many young people will start leaving Israel rather than serve military service during this awful war.  [/quote]
