Brought to you locally by UC Berkeley Students for Justice in Palestine.
Maya Wind and Netta Mishly both signed the 2008 Shministim Letter: a declaration by Israeli high school students that they would not enlist in the IDF to occupy Palestinian territories and rule over Palestinian life. Since military service is mandatory for Israeli Jews upon completing high school, Maya, Netta, and many of the dozens of teenagers who signed the letter have been sentenced to military prison, sometimes for multiple terms. Code Pink and Jewish Voice for Peace are excited to be organizing a nationwide tour through the United States this Fall, in which these two women recount why they refused, what they have experienced as a result, and what it all means.
Students for Justice in Palestine is proud to bring these women to the Berkeley Campus Community, as part of a nationwide tour sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace and Code Pink.
