โWhen our grandchildren ask what we did during the genocide in Gaza, Iโll say I refused.โ
"Ella Keidar Greenberg is in jail for refusing to serve in the Israeli army, a decision she announced publicly outside the military recruitment center. Sheโs currently being held in solitary confinement, according to Mesarvot, an organization that supports conscientious objectors. AJ+ spoke to her before her detention."
A few people in the notes have been fairly incredulous at only 10 refuseniks since the 7th so I'd like to clarifyโ Ella is the 10th objector to publicize her refusal and imprisonment since October 7th. In September 2023, over 200 teenage settlers released an open letter titled Youth Against Dictatorship promising to refuse service when their draft days came and calling for the end of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. And we know in November of 2024 Israel released at least 1126 arrest warrants for orthodox settlers who had refused service.
The exact number is hard to say, especially when Israel has an interest in concealing it to keep up their image.
