‘More killing won’t bring back lost lives’: Tal Mitnick, 18, on going to prison instead of joining IDF

Good for you, kiddo

Good for him. Nobody should be forced to fight in a war they don't believe in.

Slavery is always wrong. No matter who the master is.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

“A military upholding apartheid putting that on their wall,” he says, “while South Africa was preparing its case against Israel for the international criminal court?

As a result, a military court sentenced him to 30 days in custody, making him the first conscientious objector to be jailed in Israel since 7 October.

While he studied maths and computer science at school, a teacher suggested his natural aptitudes would suit a role in an elite intelligence unit.

Online, at least, some pro-Palestine voices have questioned the praise being poured on Mitnick, suggesting refusing to participate in the slaughtering of civilians is the very least to be expected.

Occasionally, a news programme would air on his in-cell TV, although domestic broadcasters have all but ignored Mitnick and the wider anti-war movement.

I hope more and more young people my age see that it’s not normal to live in constant fear of terrorist attacks, nor to enlist 18-year-olds into the army.

Is this guy related to Kevin Mitnick?
