1. Simple Cost Effective Solution
emanon ,   USA   (08.20.08)
Jailing someone take a lot of money and resources. Pack 'em off to Gaza instead. I give 'em 48hrs, no make that minutes, before they learn about segregation, oppression and killing. Fatah segregates, oppresses and kills Hamas, Hamas segregates, oppresses and kills Fatah and they both segregate, oppress, occupy Jewish land and kill Jews with abondon.

Miriam ,   Israel   (08.20.08)
expelling their own brothers from their Jewish homes in OUR onw Jewish homeland, but have a problem securing the country against the Arab enemies. There’s a famous saying “the fish stinks from its head”. The government of Israel and its farkrooooomte “leaders” have the same problem. No wonder the country is going tra-la-la-la.
3. These spoiled brats deserve to go to jail.
Cynic ,   USA   (08.20.08)
The majority of soldiers in the IDF are neither in combat units nor in the territories.
4. Leftist scumbags

Al   (08.20.08)
I doubt you would do it...They are your own kids.
6. ARE THEY OBJECTING TO G.T. ?
AVROHOM BILGREI ,   ZION   (08.20.08)
IF NOT, SHUT UP YOU IGNORANT , UNINFORMED PUNKS ! THANK YOU yuli tamir FOR INDOCTRINATING THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course this is ynet so who really knows what their true intentions are ? THE GOVERNMENT IN FACT DID OCCUPY GUSH KATIF ! Given the sentiments of theP.M.(pimp master) ..................................... “We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of defeating, our enemies we want to be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies." Ehud Olmert June 2005 address to the Israel Policy Forum in New York WHY THE HELL SHOULD THEY JOIN AN IDF HEADED UP BY A P.M. ANTITHETICAL TO IT'S VERY PURPOSE ?
7. Privledge?!
Karim ,   Cairo,Egypt   (08.20.08)
Yup, it sure is a privledge, first hand killings, home demolitions, child murder. Although i am a strong advocate for "Love the Warrior, Hate the War" So i dont object to the soldiers, rather their government. However in Israel if this is the only way to voice their rejection. So be it.
8. Great - the fruit of the "intellectuals"

9. With leaders like Olmert what do you expect !!!

10. Here we go again
Ron ,   Los Angeles   (08.20.08)
Miriam, Cynic, Arthur and Emanon... You guys are all racists’ people... Miriam not all Arabs "are your enemy" this is clearly a racist remark from a racists person, I’ve read all your posts and I think you need to change your tone. Cynic, you're missing the point “This teenager wrote "I cannot take part in the activities of an occupying army that regularly violates human rights".... I don't blame him, and what he say's is true!! It's bigotry and hatred from both sides that will continue this rage and there will never be an end to this cycle of violence from both sides. Don't get me wrong, my friends both Jews and Arabs want to live side by side in peace, however, those few that feel violence is the only way, will always make it harder for everyone else to achieve peace.... Hopefully one day before I die, I can visit my homeland when peace has been achieved….
11. As a Volunteer Its a Privlige to serve in the IDF
Daneil Center ,   Neve Daneil   (08.20.08)
I volunteered to serve in the IDF and it was made dificult beyond all of anyones posable dreams. Why not just let folks volunteer to replace these scumbags places in the draft!!!
12. A SHAME
Sharon ,   Singapore   (08.20.08)
Leftist cowards. Occupied territories my foot. Sounds like the NK anti-zionists! Since they don't want to lend a hand in the defense of Israel, lock them up as discipline. There are so many olim who enlist in the IDF. These leftists/hippies forgot that the Jews who set foot in Israel after world war 2 had to defend with arms!
13. Defending your family, your country
shrinkDave ,   Miami USA   (08.20.08)
Any man or woman who refuses to defend his/her family, doesn't have a family worth defending. May they live with the shame of narcissitic cowardice.
14. no Conscientious objector just a bunch of cowards
(08.20.08)
15. The mantra: Consciencious objector
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (08.20.08)
Army service is for the " Sug Bet " (Second class) Israelis. I ,a 17 year old real " Tsfoni " (Rich Leftist), object to obey the law. I , like other Leftists, must decide what to do with my life. Therefore, I find that the "Conscientious Objector" mantra ,in the case of serving the country ,suits my interests best. Let others endanger themselves as soldiers as there are so many of them.I, in the meantime, have my plans. I want to become rich and influential as fast as possible.
16. YOU ARE A HERO !
Ariel ,   Jerusalem   (08.20.08)
hope more and more Israelis will realize how wrong it is to serve in the IDF ! Lets stand up for more human rights !
17. These kids think they are big heros
Boaz ,   Israel   (08.20.08)
by "standing up" against opression "fighting for something they believe in". When in reality, the real opression is not in Israel but in the countless number of countries that wish to destroy it. These kids don't care about arabs or opression, they just don't want to serve their three years like all the rest of us do.
18. kol hakavod lahem ....
dafer ,   jerusalem   (08.20.08)
19. D.D.L.S. (that stands for,...)
Gideon Reader   (08.20.08)
Draft Dodging Leftist Scumbags; who sincerely need to do some Pee & Punk time in a real Brig. I would love to hear them explain their humongous load of socialist/brotherhood of man and human rights crapola to the Sepah a Pasdran or a Unit of Hezbollah. God! ssome of these weenies need a good slap in the panim and a kick in tuchis to get their heads on right and their morots started. see what the socialist parasites breed? More socialist parasites.
20. Unbelievable
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (08.20.08)
I served and would gladly do so again. Karim, when we were at km 191 too bad you weren't there to see whether your mouth could stop us. "Refusenik" ? Yes indeed: refuse (n): garbage. Twenty eight days? How about 3 yrs. hard labor cleaning IDF bases?
21. #7 from Egypt?????
Eytan ,   Israel   (08.20.08)
Wow the nerve of you the true definers of opression have the odassity to post on any free speech outlet. You have no credibility here. I have not heard you mention the christians in your country of hate and opression. Please give us all a break and go and help the ones that rumage through the trash of cario. You disgust me. Ask your daddy what it felt like. Oh wait he was lost in the sand or should i say cut down and left.
22. Conscientious Objectors
NYC Girl   (08.20.08)
They've certainly got the Palestinian victimhood narrative down pat, but what these kids don't seem to understand is that the real problem is there aren't any "refuseniks" on the Arab side. Perhaps if more Arabs were conscientious objectors, the IDF wouldn't have to be drafting all those Israeli kids in the first place.
23. # 7 Islamic Martyrdom: Now That's a Privledge
Thomas   (08.20.08)
Mutilating children and creating orphans for everlasting wine and virgins.
24. They are all rich kids? Is that a coincidence?
(08.20.08)
25. These kids are merely repeating what they have been taught
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.21.08)
We have a problem and it is the Ministry of Education that is pushing this crap off as knowledge. Kadima, Shas, and Labor have a lot to answer for. Remember this at the next election who brought this about.
26. Farkrooooomte twisted minded Jewish Leftists have no problem
Miriam ,   Israel   (08.21.08)
expelling their own brothers from their Jewish homes in OUR onw Jewish homeland, but have a problem securing the country against the Arab enemies. There’s a famous saying “the fish stinks from its head”. The government of Israel and its farkrooooomte “leaders” have the same problem. No wonder the country is going tra-la-la-la.
27. I'll volunteer in his place-let the coward go home!
eli ,   los angeles   (08.21.08)
28. Yeah, I was young, naive and stupid once
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (08.21.08)
These kids though have the added burden of having been indoctrinated by post-Zionist teachings. "Nakba", "poor oppressed Palestinians", "multi-culturalism", "one man's terrorist etc.", and other assorted nonsense. They have only the vaguest notion of the reality beyond their borders. Between leftist refuseniks and exempted haredim and Arabs, Israel is approaching the 50% of IDF/service participation. It'll be hard to sustain the myth of universal service once less than half of youngsters are serving.
29. TOO MUCH GANJA...
Leonello ,   Jerusalem   (08.21.08)
..Make guys pacifist... go to teach human rights to arabs!
30. SOMEDAY IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD CHOOSE, BUT YOU CAN'T
dp   (08.21.08)
you don't have choice when it comes to defending your country, if you think that it's being defended improperly work your way up to the top and make the appropriate changes, don't run away from these challenges, meet them head on, and obey your elders until you become one
