Palestine | InternationalPeople look like flowers at last-youth demonstrate in support of the shministim
On Wednesday, October 21, youth in Israel marched through the streets of Tel Aviv in support of the Shministim- youth that is refusing to join the Israeli military. In Israel military service is mandatory at the age of 18, and the refusal to enlist caries jail sentences. the sign read: "occupation-even if we ignore it, it will not disappear"
§signs
signs from right to left: "to not be in the army, is the best thing". "not a soldier and not part of a tank unit- (i am) a conscious objector and a feminist". " i will not join the occupation military".
among the many who stooped to yell at participates in the demo.
"we see, we hear, we refuse"
Latter at night, Zionists arrive. Armed with flags and makeup, they ask us to leave Israel if we don’t join the military.
I talked to them for a minute before giving up: “The Israeli military never committed war crimes, what military gives notices by phone to Palestinians before bombing an area?” “a military that bombs schools and cities with white phosphorus”? “why do you even care about that?” Ex. 2 “don’t take our picture” “why not?” “because you just going to post it and call us fascists” “and how would you define yourself?” “we believe in the land of Israel for Jews, and in a Jewish state.” “and how would you define fascism?” “We don’t really know, but we are not that” |
