Jewish Network for Palestine, Israeli Committee against House Demolitions (UK), International Anti-Zionist Network UK, Jewish Voice for Labour,  Javelin Media and the OBJECTOR Impact Project present a new film and a conversation with Israeli and Palestinian leaders who are helping shape a new generation of resistance to apartheid, militarism and inequality.

The phenomenon of conscientious objection to serving in the IDF of crucial importance – it is one of the only ways for young Israelis to have their say on the illegal occupation, Apartheid policies of Israel, and the war crimes committed by Israel.  The Late Prof. Yeshayahu Leibowitz claimed that the moment when 2,000 objectors with refuse the draft, will bring the end of the occupation. We are still some way off this crucial number, but the number of objectors is growing. This new film is introducing the arguments through the eyes of one young and courageous woman.
