Why These Israelis Refuse To Join The Army

“I objected to serve in the Israeli military because I refused to serve the apartheid regime of Israel.”

These siblings don’t want to be part of Israel’s oppressive system, so they refused to serve in Israel’s occupying army.

It cost one of them their freedom.

We need more young Israelis to say NO to this evil happening against Palestinians.

[omarabbasir]

Looking at these brave humans, there is hope folks.

I honestly have so much respect for them. You don't choose where you are born and it takes a lot of courage to see the wrongdoings of your government and decide to do your part to make a stand. Good on them.

I am Palestinian and I want to send much love and hugs to both of these wonderful people from Israel. As a Palestinian, I would be more than happy to welcome both of them into my country. ❤

[oliulla]

So much appreciation for these brave honest youth who used their intellect to reconise the truth.

i just wish the others in israel who feel this way will someday speak up. we will support them

[rackiaa]

As a Proud Palestinian, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

2 young Jews who are honest with themselves and call a spade a spade... I am touched by your courage and bravery to stand up for justice and the truth Palestine and Israel need more wonderful people like you.

[mdog]

Very proud that there are still Israelis like these two brave young people. Wishing you safety and respect from a diaspora Jew.

As an Israeli Jew, I must say, wow, quite impressive! I will teach my children too, that they should not join this army, if they don't want to.

[ThMkrn]

good to know more jewish people are fighting back against this.

[mintybee]

She is such a brave woman. God bless and her kind.

[Osajunior]

Beautiful people. We have to unite. Jews and Muslims and non believers. We are all human beings.

[patricksweeney]

That was heart-warming. I deeply admire the courage and compassion of these two genuine humanitarians.

[eshna]

Thank you Atalya and Amitai for your bravery, your will, and your desire to stand up for what is right. Bless you both for putting humanity first - our world needs more people like you two! A fan from Canada 🇨🇦

[largeshadow]

When you have morals and honor and know what's right and what's wrong, our love and respect to them

[pierrojules]

These two siblings are great people! I really hope that they succeed in changing the minds of future generations of Israelis. Like Atalya says, it's a long process.

[frankie]

Real courage to speak. So much respect I have for you two siblings.

[thirstaefortae]

They’re lucky to still have the compassion and empathy that so many of their fellow Israelis lack. It takes immense courage to speak up and break away from what has been fed to them from day 1. I hope they’re safe and well

[zenzozahid]

We need more people like them from within themselves. 👍🇵🇸
