Hello,
This is Sofia from Mesarvot Network. As fascism rapidly rises in Israel, we continue our resistance by refusing to serve the genocide and occupation. The Israeli government is brutally silencing and censoring voices of resistance - whether in the streets, in the film industry, or in journalism. Fellow activists are facing horrific political persecution - both online and in their workplaces, as well as from the authorities.

Despite the aggravating situation of political persecution, we persist in creating an alternative narrative. This week, Iddo Elam and Soul Behar Tsalik refused to serve in the military and were each sentenced to 30 days in prison.

Iddo Elam
Iddo, 18, has been active in left wing movements since the age of 15. Iddo shares: “ I refuse because I love this land. I love our culture and my Israeli and Palestinian friends. I want our future to look different . I want no child, no matter which side of the wall they were born, to be afraid of rockets or being kidnapped from their beds. We have to do everything in our power to make sure that the children of the future live in security.”

“As long as we continue to enlist, follow orders, and enact our government’s rotten goals, we will live in a reality of war, annexation, and hate. As an Israeli I am refusing to enlist to create change in my own society. But I want this act of refusal to resonate among Palestinians as well, so that they hear our messages.”

Soul Behar Tsalik
"Soul, 18, experienced his political awakening during the protests against the judicial overhaul, where he was part of the Anti-Occupation Bloc. In an interview with [ https://urlsand.esvalabs.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgmail.us22.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D512ce9c8beea446ff8702fabf%26id%3Dd7a1618464%26e%3D4d505fed3c&e=2637b01d&h=525ec3d5&f=y&p=y | +972 Magazine ] Soul shared: “Before October 7, I felt like a window had opened to talk about this, but since then, in some places, this discourse has been rejected entirely. The cracks that had formed have been filled with patriotism, revenge. But elsewhere, the opposite has happened: people have come to understand that this isn’t sustainable.”

Prior to his refusal, Soul stated: “An unprecedented number of lives have been lost: fathers, mothers, hostages, children and civilians - both Israelis and Palestinians. We must end the war and Israel’s presence in Gaza. We must move from violent confrontation to a political solution. Only then can we begin to build a lasting peace. I hope my refusal will resonate with others and encourage people to seek alternatives to the cycle of bloodshed and to work toward peace.”

Our network is the home of Israeli conscientious objectors, providing legal, social, and media support. By refusing to serve in the genocide and apartheid, we are creating an alternative narrative. But with each passing day, the political climate is deteriorating, and we urgently ask for your support in our struggle.
