What are the costs of refusing to join the Israeli military? | The Stream
In Israel, military service is mandatory for most Jewish Israelis. In a highly militarised society, many consider it a rite of passage and a part of their national identity. But there are some teens who refuse to enlist on moral grounds. The so-called “conscientious objectors“ say they do not want to be part of Israel’s war on Gaza or the oppression of Palestinians on occupied land. But the refusal to conscribe comes at a cost - the risk of imprisonment and the condemnation from Israeli society.
