If you're under 18, do not join the Israeli army

Please don't join the Israeli army. First of all, you will be literally and willingly turning yourself into a tool of mass genocide of the Palestinian people. You know that? <br><br>If you join the Israeli army, you will be killing Palestinian children, women, and men, and the entire global community will hate you for it. You will be contributing to the occupation of Palestine, the theft of Palestinian land, the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes, the arrest of Palestinian children, the destruction of Palestinian cities, the torture of Palestinian prisoners, the demolition of Palestinian homes, the eviction of Palestinian families, the annexation of Palestinian territories, the construction of settlements, the blockade of Gaza, the confiscation of Palestinian land, the killing of Palestinian protesters, the detention of Palestinian minors, the demolition of Palestinian villages, the expulsion of Palestinian Bedouins, the expropriation of Palestinian property, the repression of Palestinian resistance, the siege of Palestinian cities, the bombing of Palestinian civilians, the shooting of Palestinian demonstrators, the imprisonment of Palestinian political prisoners, the deportation of Palestinian activists, the persecution of Palestinian Christians, the humiliation of Palestinian Muslims, the dehumanization of Palestinian Arabs, the demonization of Palestinian nationalism, the marginalization of Palestinian refugees, and the erasure of Palestinian history and identity.<br><br>That is what you will be doing if you join the Israeli army.<br><br>Secondly, joining the Israeli army will harm you. It will ruin your life. It will traumatize you. It will make you into a killer, a murderer, a criminal. It will make you into a monster. It will destroy your soul. It will haunt you for the rest of your life. It will make you ashamed of yourself. It will make you regret your decision. It will make you wish you had never joined.<br><br>Thirdly, joining the Israeli army is illegal. It violates international law. It violates the Geneva Conventions. It violates human rights. It violates the laws of war. It violates the principles of justice. It violates the values of humanity.<br><br>Lastly, joining the Israeli army will make you a coward. <br><br>You will be hiding behind a uniform, a weapon, and a badge, and using them to kill, injure, arrest, detain, torture, and humiliate innocent Palestinians. You will be hiding behind a wall of propaganda, a wall of lies, a wall of hatred, and a wall of fear. You will be hiding behind a government that uses you as a tool, a puppet, a robot, a slave. You will be hiding behind a system that exploits you, manipulates you, brainwashes you, and controls you.<br><br>So, please, do not join the Israeli army. <br><br>It is immoral. It is illegal. It is harmful. It is cowardly.<br><br>Stay human. Stay just. Stay free.<br><br>Do not join the Israeli army.
