FORUM WITH ISRAELI WAR RESISTER, Zoom

Thurs May 23, 10 am Pacific time, Zoom

Join the national Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR-USA) and Red Letter Christians for an Emergency Forum with Israeli Conscientious Objector Yuval Dag.

On March 20, 2023, Yuval Dag refused his military conscription and was sent by an Israeli military court to prison.

After growing up with a nationalist identity, Yuval began to question his privilege and how it was maintained through the oppression of Palestinians. “Resistance begins, first of all, with self-reflection and understanding. With the understanding that by wearing a uniform and symbols of a certain body, you choose to represent that body. With the understanding that enlisting in the army is a political choice, and its meaning is to support the military and political agenda, and to take part in it. The understanding that even a small cog contributes to the system’s function.”

Yuval decided that he could not in good conscientious accept his military conscription. He spent two months in prison for his refusal to serve and today works with the Israeli Refusers Solidarity Network to support other Israeli Jewish Refusniks.

Join us for an urgent and important conversation with Yuval hosted by Ariel Gold of Fellowship of Reconciliation and Diana Oestrich of Red Letter Christians.
