    As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue the assault on Gaza, we speak with the first Israeli to refuse mandatory military service since Israel's offensive began over three months ago. Last month, 18-year-old Tal Mitnick announced he would refuse military service in what he called a "revenge war" on Gaza, and was sentenced to 30 days in a military prison. Just released from jail, Mitnick faces another draft summons and says he will refuse "over and over until someone gives up, until the army gives me an exemption." Mitnick says the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel broke the idea Israel could live with occupation. "We need to keep fighting for a just future," he says, urging the younger generation of Israelis to use their voices for peace. "We're the future, and we can change."

      What you said only makes sense if he was pro israeli government. Eg.
      If he said that "israel is so good at filtering civ's from hamas" then you argue that "if they are so good at not harming civillians why dont you live in gaza". So your point is so dumb that it only makes sense if his stance was the exact opposite of what it is now.

They refuse to kill anyone. I have met some that have been jailed for refusing to enlist in the US Military when they were drafted. (One of them just passed away in November 2023.) Since 2017 Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia have been imprisoned. Many Russians of that faith fled when Putin started recruiting men up to 50 years old to fight in Ukraine. After I met a young man from Azerbaijan that moved to Florida, USA, I read that Azerbaijan and other countries imprison that religion also for refusing to fight in their military. If only EVERYONE would refuse to fight and kill others the whole world would be at peace. Then, and only then, we could have true security and peace (like Tal Mitnik said).
