> Ayana Gerstmann - Picture by Soul Behar Tsalik
> Hello,
> My name is Ayana Gerstmann and last August I spent a month in prison for
> refusing to join the Israeli occupation army. Just over two weeks ago we woke
> up to the news that the US and Israel had bombed a girl’s school in Iran,
> killing more than 170 civilians, most of them young girls.
> As if we didn’t have enough with the daily massacres in Gaza, Netanyahu and his
> bloodthirsty generals launched yet another war of aggression on the sovereign
> nation of Iran. Still, most people in Israeli society remain silent! On another
> front, young soldiers my age are being sent to invade Lebanon, to kill and be
> killed, perpetuating this endless cycle of violence. We have witnessed tens of
> thousands of women and children killed in Gaza, hundreds of thousands expelled
> from their homes, entire communities wiped out so settlers can seize their land
> in the West Bank, and yet a majority of Israeli society chooses to look away.
> But I cannot stay silent in the face of killing, destruction, and suffering. I
> cannot be silent in a society where silence has taken over. If I am, then I
> become complicit in the crime.
