It is very hopeful to hear of these Israeli troops who are deciding to follow their consciences and refuse to fight in Gaza, joining the broader movement of former #IDF troops who are refusing orders to support the ongoing occupations of the West Bank, Gaza and Golan Heights.

Very important story that features some of my clients. I'm very proud of them for taking steps to follow their conscience and not support a war they don't believe in.
