Meanwhile, today is the international day of solidarity with Israeli military objectors. More than twenty US war resisters have signed onto a letter of support for Israeli youths who refuse to serve in the military. The letter says, “The Global War on Terror, like the Israeli occupation, is propped up by racism and dehumanization and sets the stage for never-ending war and occupation. We are inspired by the brave refusal of our brothers and sisters in Israel to take part in these destructive policies, and we want to let them know… that they have our deepest respect and support.”
