    She had a choice though, some Israelis choose prison instead of participating in occupation and genocide. Had she done that she’d be worthy of respect. She chose to serve.

          This is a real naive take. It would be nice if we could all stand for our morals, consequences be damned, but the vast majority won’t and I don’t consider people to be bad because of a choice between two shitty options.

          I really wonder what you would actually choose to do in such a situation. It’s easy to armchair. Not as easy when you actually have to make the choice. And I’m saying this from experience with choices far less consequential.

            I will certainly judge someone who chooses the option that means murdering starving children.

            I really wonder what you would actually choose to do in such a situation. It’s easy to armchair. Not as easy when you actually have to make the choice.

            I’d be following the lead of the others resisting compulsory service. It’s not as difficult as you make it out to be, when you actually have principles.

              You’re talking about the circumstances in Israel today. I’m not. She served 2 decades ago. You think things were the same back then? I don’t remember it being like this. Though again, 2 decades ago. My memory isn’t flawless.
