We listened and learnt from Israeli Conscientious Objector Yuval Dag on his story and those of many others like him, who have chosen peace over war and love over hate, often at great costs to their lives and futures.
On March 20, 2023, Yuval Dag refused his military conscription and was sent by an Israeli military court to prison.
After growing up with a nationalist identity, Yuval began to question his privilege and how it was maintained through the oppression of Palestinians. "Resistance begins, first of all, with self-reflection and understanding. With the understanding that by wearing a uniform and symbols of a certain body, you choose to represent that body. With the understanding that enlisting in the army is a political choice, and its meaning is to support the military and political agenda, and to take part in it. The understanding that even a small cog contributes to the system's function."
Yuval decided that he could not in good conscience accept his military conscription. He spent two months in prison for his refusal to serve and today works with the Israeli Refusers Solidarity Network to support other Israeli Jewish Refuseniks.
This Emergency Forum was co-hosted by Ariel Gold, Executive Director of Fellowship of Reconciliation, and Diana Oestreich from Red Letter Christians who is also a US war veteran who laid down her arms while deployed in Iraq. Please give this very important conversation a listen.
