In memory of the Holocaust, we refuse genocide

One week after the world marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we continue to fight for an end to Israel’s wars of aggression in the shadow of its ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. With the news of Trump’s plans to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip – and the completion of a riviera on the ashes of those killed in Israel’s murderous war – we continue forward with our struggle. Our refusal to serve genocide is not new, part of a much longer story.

Now, the threat of a growing refuser movement is felt more than ever. The Israeli government feels the heat, and is threatening to arrest and prosecute the reservists.
