Israel has mandatory military conscription. They throw you in prison if you refuse.
Rather go to prison than participate in genocide
Being disobedient to Royalty just prior to the French Revolution. They threw people in prison, or worse.
Tell me more about unbreakable rules, and how dissent is impossible.
It’s not impossible. It’s just important to take into account that not everyone will choose to be locked in a cage and repeatedly raped, possibly killed, when given the option.
They can choose to leave
My dude, have you ever emigrated? It is not generally an easy not cheap prospect, especially when international borders are involved. My wife and I have been saving for years to emigrate and realized we’d be better served just going off grid.
Are you sure they can? I’d assume they’d get arrested trying to leave.
That’s not easy or cheap do to, especially for young adults who grew up in a propaganda machine that wouldn’t make those options known. At the bare, absolute minimum though, they should be firing at the ground or otherwise hurting the war effort. Not having tires inflated all the way, dropping some sand into the engine’s motor oil, not charging drone batteries properly, giving bad intel to send squads into circles.
Isis terrorists was also propagandized too, nazis soldiers was also propagandized. Stop with the dumb excuses
American’s were also propagandized after 9/11. Trust me, it’s not fun being the only one in your highschool who thought we were moving too fast into war.
People celebrate Russians dying on lemmy we never see apologist like you when it happen. If someone get propagandized in believe settler colonialism and genocide is fine then that person go help doing more colonialism and genocide by serving the colonization forces you deserve to be killed or taking your own life unless they truly repent by becoming an anti colonisation and genocide activist
Don’t take what I said as apologizing for propagized Israelies. The ones that the propaganda didn’t work in though don’t have many options though. I pity those few though because I don’t see this ending well for them.
Yes they have the option of accepting few years of jail which is better than killing innocent people in the goal of genociding people or getting killed by resistance
They should switch sides or do sabotage instead.
Russians have it worse if they refuse to serve. We don’t hesr your bullshit about them
What? Of course, that’s equal.
