First modification:
In Israel, some young people refuse to perform military service, which is mandatory for men and women. These conscientious objectors, known as “refuseniks”, have always been stigmatized in a country where training is considered a rite of passage that forges national identity. But since the October 7 attacks led by Hamas and with Israel on a war footing, those who refuse to serve are accused of traitors. France 24 learned of some of their testimonies.
