      Israeli army is significantly made of conscripts. Men need to serve at least 3 years compulsory military service, women 2 years.

      And I am sure not all of them support the government. I would go as far as the one with PTSD and committing suicide are the ones that less support the talking points of the government

        Are you saying there are no innocents in Israel?

        They have the option of refusing service and serving a few months in jail instead of shooting toddlers in the head. Conscription is not an excuse.

            I sure as shit wouldn’t be shooting children in the streets. Anywhere I guess, but also the streets. I’d rather take a bullet to the head denying an order instead of murdering an innocent.

            It is possible to refuse to be conscripted, and be sent to jail for 30 days. Mostly people go to another country.
