Mesarvot is a network of young Israeli activists who refuse to serve in the Israeli military.
We reject the violent system that drafts us into serving apartheid, occupation, and genocide. The state demands our obedience; we answer with refusal. This is not just an act of personal conscience – it is a direct confrontation with a militarized regime that thrives on silencing dissent. Refusal means resistance. Refusal means solidarity with the Palestinian people. Refusal means fighting for human rights and freedom, for everyone.
We support conscientious objectors through the challenging process of refusal that often includes long imprisonments in military prison. We offer legal assistance, mentorship from past refusers, media training and a social network of youth who refuse to enlist.
In our actions, we encourage Israeli youth to question the occupation and the Israeli war machine. We initiate local and international political events, sharing stories of refusal and alternative perspectives on our reality.
We aim to create a foundation for broader societal reflection, shifting the public focus to the crimes committed in our name, calling Israelis to take responsibility and most importantly resist.
