The Lebanon 2006 war has produced its first conscientious objector - Staff Sergeant Itzik Shabbat, a 28-year-old TV producer. He refused to comply with an emergency order (Tsav to report Tuesday for reserve duty in the territories in order to free forces in the standing army for the war in Lebanon.

"I know people will attack me and ask how could I not take part in this war when Qassams are falling on my hometown and Katyushas on the towns in the north. In my opinion, only this type of opposition that I've chosen will put an end to the madness that is going on now and will shatter the false feeling that the entire home front supports this unnecessary war that is based on deceptive considerations."

I hope many more bloggers come out and post articles like you have done. I would like to invite you to check out both blogs that I started. The other blog Voices from Iraq/Palestine is one that I hope helps others understand and see the wrong doings by governments, not people in general. http://criese.blogspot.com.
