Since 2002 Israeli court ruled individual conscientious objection is an exemption. There are lots of news stories of it being denied, but that is because collective action is considered protest and thus illegal.
- thunky 1y agoInteresting, thanks. From wikipedia: The Israeli High Court of Justice ruled in 2002 that refusal to serve was legal on the grounds of unqualified pacifism, but "selective refusal" which accepted some duties and not others was illegal. It also looks like it's not entirely simple to get the exemption, and if you don't do it correctly you could be jailed: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/27/who-are-the-israeli-refuseniks-picking-jail-over-the-gaza-war https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/27/who-are-the-israel...
