A group of young Israelis have sent an open letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu declaring their opposition to being drafted into the military because of Israel’s policies surrounding West Bank settlements, which they view as “human rights violations.”
The letter was signed by 50 teens and published on the Facebook page of an Israeli pacifist group called Yesh Gvul, which means ‘There is a Limit.’
“The main reason for our refusal is our opposition to the occupation of the Palestinian territories by the army,” the teenagers wrote.
