Ms. Que BanhI highly recommend watching this #documentary to understand how young #Israeli #dissenters / #ConscientiousObjectors feel & the consequences they face for trying to stand for justice. They're in the minority in Israel & are often called traitors by Zionazis. I know some former Israelis in BC who have been ostracized from their families; who refuse to stop being bigoted Zionazis & support more violent land thefts from Palestinians. Dissenters don't get support from a society that has been brainwashed to hate all Arabs - they usually face abuses/harassment for taking moral & ethical stands against occupational forces/violence.
This #DocFilm was made well before Oct 7.
Like all Israeli youth, Atalya is expected to become a soldier. Unlike most, she questions the practices of her countryβs military, and becomes determined to challenge this rite of passage. Despite her familyβs #political disagreements and personal concerns, she refuses #military duty and is imprisoned for her dissent. Her courage moves those around her to reconsider their own political positions and power to effect change. Objector follows Atalya to prison and beyond, offering a unique window into the Israeli - #Palestinian conflict from the perspective of a young woman who seeks truth and takes a stand for justice.
This documentary was produced by Buried Seed Productions and directed by Molly Stuart. It was first released in 2019.
