1/3 Tal Mitnick, the first Jewish-Israeli jailed for refusing compulsory military service in Gaza.
"I will refuse to enlist. Refuse to take part in the criminal war in Gaza. I believe a massacre cannot solve a massacre. Violence cannot solve violence. Therefore I refuse."
As #Israeli military operations in #Gaza drive civilians closer to its southern borders, the looming possibility of mass deportation of #Palestinians to #Egypt grows. This alarming prospect follows recent media reports and explicit statements by Israeli officials endorsing such deportation without reasonable justification, proper accommodation in places of refuge, or guarantees of return to homes once hostilities end.
