For three weeks, Maya Wind and Netta Mishly, both from Israel, have been explaining to audiences across the country why they refuseto serve in the Israeli military.They refuse to rule over an occupied people. They refuse to detain Palestinians without charge. They refuse to guard checkpoints, to enforce a siege, to usher in a humanitarian disaster.
Speaking to hundreds of students at the University of Arizona, these two women reminded them, "Your tax dollars are going toward our Occupation!" They gave their personal accounts of how they came to be Shministim - Israeli youth who have signed a letter stating their refusal to join the Israeli army. This was not a decision they came to lightly as they knew they would pay a price - military prison.
