A conversation with Yuval Dag, who is a part of the Mesarvot conscientious objector network and has spent two months in military prison for refusing to enlist in the Israeli army.
Ever since Israel was founded there have been conscientious objectors to military service. The Mesarvot network, founded in 2015, supports hundreds of young Israeli every year through their difficult refusal process. This support includes legal assistance, guidance from past refusinks, media training and fostering a space
for young anti-occupation activists to work together. Mesarvots are dedicated to promoting an anti-militaristic anti-occupation discourse in Israeli society and have been protesting against the war in joint Israeli-Palestinian demonstrations across the country.
This evening is set up as a moderated conversation with Yuval, who refused to enlist in the IDF last year due to his refusal to serve the occupation and apartheid systems that oppress and control the Palestinain people.
