Nathan Blanc vs. the IDF; Round 10

Young Nathan is back in the brig. For the 10th time!

All because he wants to serve his country in some way that doesn't involve picking up a gun.

For their part, the Israeli Defence Forces want to send a message to all (non-Haredim) Israelis that resistance is futile...

You will conform to the dictates of the authoritarian state.

In a democracy there should be breathing room for conscientious objectors.

Sign this petition to let Defence Minister Ya'alon know that the world is watching. A country with a conscience needs to have room for conscientious objectors.

Here's a video clip of Nathan explaining his motivations.

Meet the bravest man in Israel

Nathan Blanc has been in and out of military prison seven times in the past four months for refusing to serve in the IDF. He is expecting his eighth turn on the merry-go-round in the coming week. What a courageous young man!
