These kids refuse to serve and the letters posted above speak to who came first the chicken or the egg. Shameful. Nip this far left crap in the bud or it could spread throughout Israel. Make examples of them and throw them in jail.

from "all over Israel", that's a sure sign of healthy, patriotic upbringing for the remaining 99.99999% of our youth!

sounds like a lot, "63" (idiots) on the other hand- not so much.

Cut the BS. Your generation is all about facebook, redit and tweeter. You are incapable of doing anything else but surfing on your smartphones. IDF can do without you bunch of geeks

Should these uneducated students be joining the PA and moving to Ramallah, Gaza or Iran and see what true oppression is all about and I am not talking about Israel protecting and making sure that Israel is safe, I am talking about the governments of the PA and Hamas?

Quit the country, idiots, move to Gaza. Together with the parents. They don't deserve to be Israeli citizens.

The Palestinian conflict is not the only reason the IDF exists. This niave and closed minded reasoning is suicidal. These youth should be thinking on how to continue the moral and humanitarian actions of the IDF from within the IDF, then they would be able to act on their accusations if justified.

These idiots don't understand that all of Israel is considered occupied territory by the Palestinians who would like nothing better than to see them at the bottom of the sea.

Occupation is the only way to deal with Arabs.

They are lucky that Israel doesn't inflict genocide on them like Syria does, it is ongoing in Yemen and in other parts of the Arab/Muslim world.

No Arabs

No occupation

these idiots think that the arabs would save their lives if they do not
fight for their own lives.

Do these students not know their history. Do they not know the palenstians want all of Israel and every Israeli dead. Do they not know there is no occupation by Israel. Do they not know the palenstians have no claim to any region in the middle east. Do they not know the palenstians homeland is Greece and the Aeagean Sea. Do they not know they are committing death in their mind and soul. Do they not know anything about Israel???

Refusing to serve in the army, or refusing to respect army orders, on both sides of the political fense is wrong and dangerous...

friends. Maybe they'll even get autographed kaffiyehs from the "palestinian" poster whore herself, Ahed Tamimi.

It is always bewildering to witness this type of behavior and thought process from native Israelis who insist on Israeli guilt in the face of overwhelming evidence that the Palestinians will never accept their existence as a Jewish state in the Mideast.
My educated guess would be that most of these 'useful idiots' are merely parroting one or both of their parents.

I am incensed at such ignorance and cowardice (and Traitorship ?)Palestine includes Hamas Operators Fateh Supporters and S'derot rocket targeters..The people who bus bombs,knife attackers killers are not Jews !Who put these youngsters up to this ...Their Fathers and Mothers ?Palesstinianssupporters exist all over the place in Arab villages and beyond our borders with the likes of Hizbolah and Iran.If they are so bold to present petitions they should be bold enough to give their names and addresses.We face enemies who would not distinguish whether these youths are their supporters or not.Their indiscriminate rocket fire tells all.Let them come back to me with these answers and convince me that they have a just cause.I sling my support with the right.even extreme leftists would not countenance this with a no support to a support for an elected democratic process of law and order in our Country.If they feel so strongly send them to Prison for a long stretch.if they insist in their desiires to undermine the Jewish State.

Lets tell the reality about Israel of the Thousands of Young Israelis ,including my son currently finished Basic just this past Wednesday.
Only 63 out the Thousands.Heres the problem lets break down more info.on the demographics of the 63.Most Israeli Children are proud to serve in any job in the Odd.More left wing nonsense.

two generations grew up under the Post Zionist Post Judaic Culture
promoted mostly by assimilated Jews who fled here from Europe
and were given prominent media and educational
positions by the Mapai the Mapai Party is gone but they
and their children are still in power in the media and in the
extreme secular culture world of Israel there is only
three things that matter in this life it is said "demographics
demographics demographics and that will be the final
answer to these kids and their parents and the left that
rules today we will no doubt have to suffer them for a
few more years then the true Jewish Revolution will
begin and they will be but footnotes in history

idiot children

This is an example of a free society, where they can express themselves. However, a free society also has laws which all are obligated to follow. A violation of the law has consequences ....... and these young people will have to deal with the consequences.
