[Text reads from right to left: refuse the bombing, refuse the starvation, refuse the slaughter.]

Last week, we participated in the Art of Refusal exhibition organized by Mesarvot. The exhibition featured many pieces delving into the nature of refusing enlistment to the IOF.

Our three part exhibit's message is simple: refuse the bombing, refuse the starvation, refuse the slaughter.

Please check out Mesarvot, as well as the wonderful artists, activists and refuseniks that participated the the event.

Tal mitnick is an 18 year old on the 26th he became the first israeli who refused to join the military since october 7th. he was sentenced for 30 days in military prison and will likely serve an upwards total of 4 months!!! I want to give Tal a moment of appreciation. I salute you o7.

Before the IDF attempted to draft him, Greenberg was an activist campaigning against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and against increasingly violent attacks by Jewish settlers on Palestinian villages. Some of these protests turned violent after Israeli security authorities got involved – clearly leaving a mark on Greenberg. When a police car drove past, its sirens on, he flinched and looked around with worry.

Greenberg told CNN he had refused to enlist in the army in protest of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, its war in Gaza and, most recently, its operation in Lebanon. “The war in Lebanon started when I was in jail. I joked that I didn’t even have the time to refuse all their f**king wars,” he noted.

He was born in 2006, the year of the Second Lebanon War – a coincidence that is not lost on him. “The first (Israeli) soldiers have now been killed in the Third Lebanon War and the children who will fight in the Fourth Lebanon War are being born now,” he said.

“This war is creating the next war. The children that see their family die will not stop. I am pretty sure, based on the history, they will choose resistance and violence. It’s sad, but it’s the reality.”

REALLY promising and interesting.

imo, Israelis refusing to fight is the #1 way to end the conflict quickly.

Biden's not doing it. Netenyahu's not doing it.

The Israeli people saying "enough" may be the fastest/only way to save Palestinian lives.
