"Lebanon says Israel sprayed southern villages with concentrated glyphosate", a powerful herbicide and insecticide. (BBC) Sound familiar? Remember when the United States sprayed Agent Orange in Vietnam? It was primarily from 1961 to 1971 as part of "Operation Ranch Hand", increasing the scale of the spraying in 1965. Like us, back in the day, civilian Israel is letting military Israel commit these atrocities in their name. I was only 14 - 24 years old during those years. But when I turned 18 I did something about it - I refused to enlist. Now, as a peace-veteran of Vietnam I send this message to the young men and women in Israel:

Don't let your government get away with this sh*t. Refuse to wear the uniform, refuse to enlist! Don't let them use you to continue committing war crimes.
