These sick, self hating kapo Jews have a lot of nerve.  Why should they sit back and enjoy all the benefits of a civilized country while cheering for Israel's sand ape maggot enemies?  Never mind going to prison.  They should all be deported to the moose-limb s--tholes of their choice permanently (Although my first thought was that they should all be shot dead.  But then again I thought it might be a little harsh.)

On another note, these leftist are UGLY!!!!!!

To some, they are heroes ready to trade their personal liberty for the sake of high principle. To others, they are spoiled rich kids, shirking their national duty on the backs of the less fortunate.
Now dozens of Israeli teenagers face possible jail terms and blighted career prospects after declaring that they will not join the army because of its "war crimes" in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Their stance is a wholesale rejection of the political consensus in Israel, where army service is seen as a near-sacred duty, essential to protect a country surrounded by enemies. But it has drawn a rebuke from one of Israel's most powerful politicians, who has accused the youths of "dodging responsibility".
The mass act of conscientious objection is set out in a letter signed by around 70 senior secondary pupils, who are refusing to fulfil their legal obligation to enlist when they leave school.
"We, the undersigned, intend to refuse to serve in the army and the main reason is our opposition to the military occupation of Palestinian territories," the pupils write.

The letter to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, accuses Israeli forces of committing human rights abuses and war crimes "on a daily basis", including assassinations, torture, and collective punishment.
It also charges the army with damaging Israeli society and creating "a violent and militaristic masculine ideal where 'might is right'". "It shapes the educational system, our workforce opportunities, while fostering racism, violence and ethnic, national and gender-based discrimination," the text says.

While conscientious objectors - also known as refuseniks - are a long-standing phenomenon in Israeli society, the latest episode is the first mass refusal from pupils approaching draft-age in the past decade.

All men and women are obliged to join the Israeli Defence Forces at age 18, although exemptions exist for Arab citizens and ultra-Orthodox Jews engaged in religious studies.

The movement to write to Mr Netanyahu gathered pace after would-be refuseniks contacted each other through social media.
The prime minister has not responded, but the missive provoked condemnation from Yair Lapid, the Israeli finance minister and leader of the secular Yesh Atid party. He called the teenagers "pampered, wealthy youngsters" on his Facebook page, and compared them to ultra-Orthodox Jews who refused to join the army on religious grounds.

"To start with let's call this by its real name - this is not refusing, but dodging responsibility ," wrote Mr Lapid - who initiated recent legislation curtailing army exemptions for religious Jews "Their secular evasion is not ideological. It is the pampering of wealthy youngsters who believe they deserve everything when others - your sons and mine - have to serve in the army instead of them. I'm ashamed of them."
The signatories have responded by saying they hail from a variety of backgrounds - modest as well as affluent - and insist they represent a cross-section of Israeli society.

Sitting in a cafe in Tel Aviv's southern suburbs, Daniel Elsohn, 17, refuted Mr Lapid's accusation that his refusal endangered other Israelis.
"I think the people who say this are trying to paint it as if going to the army protects," he said. "I think going to the army is actually damaging my security as a citizen. I am terrified of missiles, I am terrified of explosions, of sirens, of all those things. But I think they won't be stopped if we continue doing offensive acts in the name of defence."
