On July 23, Fania Oz-Salzberger, a history professor and daughter of the renowned Israeli writer and essayist Amos Oz, launched an appeal on X , asking soldiers to refuse to serve in the army.
Soldiers, regular and reserve,
parents of soldiers, grandparents of soldiers,
there is no other solution: refuse to serve in Gaza. Refuse, refuse, refuse.
The hostages and their unfortunate families have been betrayed by the Israeli government.
The mass famine in Gaza is a horrific and irrefutable fact.
The daily killings in food distribution centers are not self-defense, but a shocking war crime.
International law has long since ceased to be on our side.
Soldiers sacrifice their young lives in vain, or worse, for a harmful and destructive purpose.
Moderate public opinion around the world and Israel’s last friends reject us in horror, not because they are anti-semitic, but because they are human beings.
The messianic right, in its madness, drags us into total isolation, with the absolute belief that God exists and is on our side.
Refuse to serve in the army, refuse, refuse.
