    I hate they’re having to face penalties like this for speaking out, but mad respect to them for taking a stand.

      I can’t recall any stories of any objectors enduring anything particularly bad, maybe it would get worse if more people started doing it, barely anyone rejects their service, even during active moments of conflict

        Tbh getting killed or sent to jail and tortured sounds less bad than having to kill children and then continue living

    Much respect to these proud anti-zionists. This is why it’s so important to talk about fascist ideologies. It’s not about israelis or jewish people. It’s about a political genocidal ideology. It’s overwhelmingly promoted by the worst christians in usa.

    That’s why politicians need to promote double think like “anti-zionism = anti-semitism”. That’s why the imperial news hides brave resistors like these guys. That’s why zionists put them in cages. They’re the truth against the naked lies.

    I just wonder if the kids of those warmongering politicians are going to the front? I think we should make a law where someone wants to wage a war their kids to be at the forefront and witness first hand all the killings and destruction first hand.

      It’s relatively normal in countries that still have conscription, if you don’t serve and don’t get an exception, you go to jail, otherwise what is the point of conscription vs just making it voluntary. The more damaging thing for these teens will be the social and career repercussions they face for refusing to serve, they will be barred from many lucrative jobs that will automatically filter out people who refused to serve, etc.

          I’m sorry to tell you this but Israel will keep existing. There’s no point in magical thinking. Its existence is guaranteed by our empire. They’ll fall one day though, everybody does, even us.

    The same applies here in Switzerland. If you refuse military service you go to jail. The only difference is we are not at war. What a horrendous system. How effective are unmotivated soldiers anyway?
