In Israel, only a minority of young people refuse to carry out their military service, which is compulsory for both men and women. These conscientious objectors, known as 'refuseniks', have always been stigmatized in a country where the training is considered a rite of passage that forges national identity.
But since the October 7 Hamas attacks and with Israel on a war footing, those who refuse to serve are accused of being traitors.
