    Was skeptical of them off rip given what I’ve seen of other “‘israeli’ leftists,” but damn inspiring stuff. They’re not JUST burning draft papers, they’re calling out the project of the state of “israel” as illegitimate and based upon genocide, and calling for its abolition. This should be the starting point for comrades in ANY settler colonial country

            Yeah, I registered for selective service because you need to for financial aid, but if they actually tried to force me into the military I would have told them to go fuck themselves.

            You don’t get to be excused from signing up to genocide brown people because you wanted to personally benefit, you fucking rat. What would you say if someone from the USA picked up a gun and started killing people around them and looting their houses for money, of course, all this without having to further US imperialism and terror with all that that implies. I doubt that they would be seen in such a sympathetic light, almost as if these are a different kind of victim and a different kind of people. Almost as if you are a white supremacist and there is no amount of outsider’s lives that will ever be worth more than the college degree of one single white American.

              that’s accurate for volunteer troops, but you don’t know what we’re talking about at all in this case and owe me an apology.

              registering for the draft isn’t joining the military, it’s giving a government agency your name and address at gunpoint so they can have a slightly easier time doing conscription on you later. in the event that a trump dipshit decides to do conscription even though the career boots don’t want conscripts, you’d have every opportunity to get some kind of exemption, leave the country, piss and shit your pants, kill the guys they send to abduct you, etc.

    the next step is getting out of there. most israelis have double citizenship or a grandparent who lived in a country that will accept them by law

      A good amount of younger folk there have avoided being brainwashed by their propaganda but don’t yet have the means to leave. They’re far outnumbered, but it’s good to see that there’s a bit of fighting from within.
