Because I like to talk...

I'm Bethany: vegan, politically unsure, full of ideas, pro-choice, bi-curious, jolly but constantly exhausted.
farhaaan:

This is Omer Goldman. She is an Israeli Jew but not just any—she is the daughter of a former deputy head of Mossad. She has been jailed twice for refusing to serve in the Israeli military.

“I refuse to enlist in the Israeli military. I shall not be part of an army that needlessly implements a violent policy and violates the most basic human rights on a daily basis.
Like most of my peers, I too have not dared to question the ethics of the Israeli military. But when I visited the Occupied Territories I realized I see a completely different reality, a violent, oppressive, extreme reality that must be ended.
I believe in service to the society I am part of, and that is precisely why I refuse to take part in the war crimes committed by my country. Violence will not bring any kind of solution, and I shall not commit violence, come what may.“

 I am not entirely decided upon my views on Mossad, but one thing I am certain of is that Goldman should not be forced to enter the Israeli military.
