In Israel, a group of high school students have recently pledged to refuse conscription, backing the growing movement of COs against the war in Gaza: "There is no military solution – there never will be.

We refuse to be a cog in the machine that fuels bloodshed, and instead, we will create a reality of justice, freedom and equality, which we know is possible."
