It isn't rare at all, the news is just primed to latch onto this stuff now.
I hope you're right. It's entirely possible you are and this is being politicized and publicized precisely because of ongoing events. But I sincerely hope the number does go up because of current events.
If you've ever seen a video of those monsters celebrating the destruction of Palestinian's homes it would become clear why it's so rare. Literally jumping for joy and clapping after kicking someone out of their home and watching as it crumbles in front of them. Inhuman.
This is something that happens all the time, why are you calling it "so rare"?
So you're claiming "those monsters" includes non-members of the military who are up for conscription? I.e. every Israeli?
1), that's bad faith and 2) If you go to jail because you refused to serve, no I would not consider you a monster, quite the opposite.
This shouldn't even be news, it literally happens constantly in Israel. I personally know someone who did time for refusing mandatory service. It's considered a rite of passage by those of certain political persuasions.
Forced military service in an ethnostate engaged in genocide is a pretty righteous thing to oppose.
Conscription is yet another good reason to stop finding or enabling Israel's psychotic march to the sea.
FYI, the phrase is "rite of passage".
If my country was doing this I’d refuse too.
Prison or worse for refusing to give your life for your Leader is completely normal in any fascist regime.
Normal? It's a defining feature
Well, among other.
Please tell me of one country where you can refuse to obey a call to arms.
Most EU contries don`t have a forced Military Service. Even if they have, as.eg Germany in the past, you can select an alternative social service for an equivalent time, if you don't want become a soldier.
No European country is at war. Do you really think it wouldn't come back if war was actually starting in Europe?
Shit, this is one of the kids Hasan just had on a couple weeks ago.
Good for him. Hope they treat him better than they've shown they treat other civilians.
What’s legal and what’s moral are rarely the same
Good on him.
