    Because some of them are civilians. You can’t choose where you are born.

    Israeli soldiers don’t have an excuse though.

        You can still choose not to serve. There are probably consequences that follow choosing not to, of course. But the choice exists. There’s no excuse. Same as the russians in the Ukraine War, or the American draftees during the Vietnam War.

        Is it fair to be born into a certain nationality and be forced to deal with this choice? No. But the choice exists not to comply and become part of the problem.

          Go ahead and serve, just do it in the most incompetent way possible. Make them scared to give you a weapon or authority because you (intentionally) fuck everything up in training
