    Israel has a history of ostracising those they deem “cowards” in society.

    Just look into how they remembered the Holocaust and how they treated the survivors.

    I both hope those brave soldiers stay in Israel to lead a change and hope they don’t let the state crush them with the gleeful support of the fascist civilian population.
