Jewish Students!
 
Join the Israelis who have called for the end of occupation:
 
  • Members of Machsom Watch conduct daily observations at checkpoints between Israel and the West Bank, challenging capricious new rules invented by the officers in charge.
  • We all have limits," reserve Lt. David Zonshein, 28, said to Israel's best-selling newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth. "You can be the best officer, always be first...and suddenly you are asked to do things that should not be asked of you - to shoot people, to stop ambulances, to destroy houses in which you don't know if there are people living."
Stop the Occupation!
 
The Occupation is Killing Us All
ha-kibush horaeg et kulanu
From the statement of the 250 Israeli reserve officers who have refused to serve in the occupied territories:
  • We, who understand now that the price of Occupation is the loss of IDF's human character and the corruption of the entire Israeli society.
  • We, who know that the Territories are not Israel, and that all settlements are bound to be evacuated in the end.
  • We hereby declare that we shall not continue to fight this War of the Settlements.
  • We shall not continue to fight beyond the 1967 borders in order to dominate, expel, starve and humiliate an entire people.
  • We hereby declare that we shall continue serving in the Israel Defense Forces in any mission that serves Israel's defense.
  • The missions of occupation and oppression do not serve this purpose - and we shall take no part in them.
