Israeli teens enter jail rather than take part in army crimes against Palestinians.
On Monday, Israeli teenager, Noam Gur, began an initial ten-day prison sentence because she publicly refused to serve in the Israeli army. A second teen, Alon Gurman, presented himself at the military base in order to refuse service, along with Gur, but according to a tweet from Gur was sent home without being jailed.
A brave and informed Israeli speaks out.
Notice how anyone who doesn't do what the Govt says is a "Nazi". Typical blanket statements from a brainwashed sheep. Why isn't he serving the army instead of protesting against those who stand for Human Rights? Yeah, it's easy to let someone else fight for you right?On Monday, Israeli teenager, Noam Gur, began an initial ten-day prison sentence because she publicly refused to serve in the Israeli army.

"I’m in prison because Israel is committing crimes. Israel has been committing crimes since Israel was established… It committed crimes since 1948, when the Nakba occurred. People were banned away from coming here, which is a crime that Israel is still committing, not allowing them to come back… Israel is committing crimes when its occupying and killing people, not allowing them to have any kind of human rights, it takes land and water resources. It’s committing crimes in the siege of Gaza. Concluding all of that, it makes sense that I would not want to serve this country".

I noticed the 2008 in the video. Where is this brave girl now? Anyway of finding out? Hope she's okay. You just know they'll make her family's life a living hell from that day on. Anyone who says anything negative about them are always called a Nazi and they always play the holocaust card. They believe they have the monopoly on suffering and wear it like a badge of honor.

So true. Very apparent here in America where our Politicians or the Media cannot say anything negative about Israel. They can insure, arrest and kill Americans "protesting" over there and our Politicians just turn the other cheek.
You bring up a good point. Not sure how we can find out how she is doing. Hopefully she and her family and everyone else who is standing for what their believe is right are all safe.
I think l may have found something on her. Check this out jj...

Wow...l just had a crazy thought. My mind went back to Nelson Mandela's early years before they took away 27 years of his life.
Noam humble's me. She truly is the Joan of Arc of the 21st century. Wow! just wow!
