\n\u201cI reject participating in the violent policies of oppression and apartheid that Israel has imposed on the Palestinian people, especially now during the war,\u201d<\/p>\n

An 18-year old girl, Sofia Orr, has refused to join mandatory military conscription and has been sentenced to 20 days in prison!!<\/p>\n

She is a member of the Mesarvot network, a group of conscientious objectors in Israel who are among a minority refusing military service.<\/p>\n

Bravo to this courageous woman! Bravo to those who have a conscience!<\/p>\n

English Script:
\nSofia Orr: I realized that it’s not just that I don’t want to enlist. I can’t. There is no reality in which I am going to just take part of it and be complicit in the horrible acts the IDF enacts on the Palestinian people. It\u2019s very strong propaganda from a very young age where we are being taught that being a soldier is an honor and it is something to be proud of. I think it’s like the heart of (Israeli) society, the military. I mean, almost every conversation that you have in Israel, it will start by asking either: \u201cWhat are you going to do in the military?\u201d or \u201cWhat did you do in the military?\u201d The moment I started to ask myself the question that the vast majority of Israelis don’t ask themselves: \u201cWhat does this service actually serve?\u201d Who is it serving? What is it serving? It’s difficult to live in a society that hates you, and it’s difficult sometimes to want to make friends and to discover that even if they don’t hate me, they hate Palestinians. My parents are very supportive and I mean, they are scared for me. They are scared for what I will face in prison, and especially what I would face from the society I live in. Such a big part of my decision to refuse is communicating to Israeli society and especially to young people to show them that refusing is an option, that peace is an option. That military service is a political choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
