    Spend 30 days in jail vs Murder the locals.

    Shocked that this is so rare it makes the news.

      It isn’t rare at all, the news is just primed to latch onto this stuff now.

        I hope you’re right. It’s entirely possible you are and this is being politicized and publicized precisely because of ongoing events. But I sincerely hope the number does go up because of current events.

    This shouldn’t even be news, it literally happens constantly in Israel. I personally know someone who did time for refusing mandatory service. It’s considered a rite of passage by those of certain political persuasions.

      Forced military service in an ethnostate engaged in genocide is a pretty righteous thing to oppose.

      Conscription is yet another good reason to stop finding or enabling Israel’s psychotic march to the sea.

      FYI, the phrase is “rite of passage”.

    If my country was doing this I’d refuse too.

    Prison or worse for refusing to give your life for your Leader is completely normal in any fascist regime.

      Please tell me of one country where you can refuse to obey a call to arms.

        Most EU contries don`t have a forced Military Service. Even if they have, as.eg Germany in the past, you can select an alternative social service for an equivalent time, if you don’t want become a soldier.

          No European country is at war. Do you really think it wouldn’t come back if war was actually starting in Europe?

        I’m sorry are you under the impression that conscription is a normal part of every country?

          Yes. In a state of war, any country would resort to conscription or surrender. That’s not an impression. Some countries are blessed to be away from war, and thus they don’t need conscription. They would still do it if war was to come to them.

          You don’t answer the question btw: which country wouldn’t conscript if under attack?

              So did you read the introduction of this article? They are under protection of another country/nation. What would happen if they were to face a war? It’s a state of vassalage.

    Good for him for standing up for his ideals. Also, this is not news because this is what happens when you don’t follow conscription orders.
