Greg Dixon介绍了以色列的强制兵役制度以及一些年轻人选择入狱也不愿服兵役的现状,特别是加沙战争和黎巴嫩战争的背景下,这一现象更加突出。他概述了该节目的主题,并引出了后续采访。 Orian讲述了他拒绝服兵役的原因,主要是因为加沙战争的残酷性让他无法接受参与其中。他强调自己选择公开拒绝服兵役,并得到了组织Mesavot的支持,该组织为良心拒服兵役者提供法律援助。他还描述了在军事监狱中服刑的艰苦条件,以及其他拒服兵役者面临的来自社会各界的压力和潜在的暴力威胁。 Tal Mitnick分享了他拒绝服兵役的经历,他起初被军队中的高薪职位吸引,但后来意识到这些职位实际上参与了对巴勒斯坦人的压迫,因此他选择公开拒绝服兵役。他谈到了在拒绝服兵役后所面临的网络暴力和人身安全威胁。他认为,只有停火才能解决冲突,而不是军事行动,并且越来越多人开始意识到这一点。 Ruth Sherlock作为记者总结了采访内容,并指出拒绝服兵役是试图带来改变的一种方式,尽管它并不能直接结束战争,但它代表了一种和平抗议和社会变革的尝试。

Shownotes Transcript

Israel has mandatory military services for citizens over the age of eighteen that meet certain requirements, and refusing to serve, which has always been controversial is even more contentious now that the country is fighting in Gaza and Lebanon. We meet one young person choosing to go to jail rather than serve in the military. Support NPR and get sponsor-free episodes of State of the World.
