> Oryan Mueller


> Oryan, 18, grew up in a family that had always been critical of Israel, “I
> wasn’t sure what my future after high school would look like. The Israeli
> army’s attack on Gaza was the main turning point in my choice to refuse,” he
> says. “Hearing the one-sided discourse about the victims of the war, mourning
> only the Jewish lives but not the Palestinian civilians.”

> “I refuse to be part of the perception that military operations for a “superior
> cause” justify killing any citizens. I refuse to draft to the bloodshed in Gaza
> and the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.”


> Itamar Greenberg


> Itamar, 18, grew up in an ultra orthodox religious family. He shares: “From a
> young age, I wanted to be part of the Israeli society. As an ultra orthodox
> kid, I understood the only way to fit in the secular society is by enlisting in
> the army. Now, at 18, I understand that my society is captivated by extremist
> nationalistic ideologies. Our society dehumanizes anyone who is different -
> Palestinians in Gaza, Palestinian citizens of Israel, migrant workers and even
> ultra orthodox people.”

> “This dehumanization roots in the ongoing occupation. But I believe that all of
> us who live between the river and the sea deserve to live in peace and justice.
> I am refusing because I am committed to both the Israeli’s and the
> Palestinian’s future. I choose to resist the war machine of expulsion and
> occupation.”

> Yuval Moav


> Yuval Moav, 18, shares that growing up, he was expected to complete a
> “meaningful” military service once he graduated. “Luckily, as I got older I was
> exposed online to international media reports,” he shares. “I learned about the
> injustices that are done in my name in the occupied West Bank and in Gaza,
> shifting my views and leading me to understand that in order to stay true to my
> values, I must refuse.”

> those who want to build a better society, a society of justice and equality,
> not occupation and apartheid.”
