As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue the assault on Gaza, we speak with the first Israeli to refuse mandatory military service since Israel's offensive began over three months ago. Last month, 18-year-old Tal Mitnick announced he would refuse military service in what he called a "revenge war" on Gaza, and was sentenced to 30 days in a military prison. Just released from jail, Mitnick faces another draft summons and says he will refuse "over and over until someone gives up, until the army gives me an exemption." Mitnick says the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel broke the idea Israel could live with occupation. "We need to keep fighting for a just future," he says, urging the younger generation of Israelis to use their voices for peace. "We're the future, and we can change."

I have huge respect for Tal . This is an 18 year old who knows better than the majority! A true HERO in the making. I hope they don't punish him for telling the world the truth about Israel! God protect Tal and his family. Love and blessings from the UK 🇬🇧 🙏 ❤️
Absolutely beautifully put dear Tal Mitnick. Thank you profoundly. You are a leader. You speak for wisdom, displaying leadership, humanity. Thank you. We are with you.
God bless you my son.. wish you will stay free and safe.. thank you from an Arabic mother
Amen!
Jesus Christ is the Living God he is Real and he healed me from my incurabel sickness!! he wants us all to live Forever and with him in Heaven but we cannot let our sin separate us from his Perfect love
The Creator Jesus🙏❤💯😍He REALLY Loves us!!

"My incurabel sickness"
Nope. You're still gay.
I remember him. I knew he had the strength. So glad to see this and get an update! He should be proud. No blood on his hands. I hope he continues to stand his ground.
I was watching Tal Mitnick before too . He is a very talented, smart young guy that looking for peace and humility for everyone including Palestinian. Hopefully more young generation comes forward to support him and the peace. Great young man. 👍
What an honourable young man with a conscience and the bravery to speak up.
Will the Israeli Army spit on him on daily basis in jail?
Because that is the kind of treatment Palestinians receive in jail
Another proof that altough Israel is a despicable, evil regime, Israelis themselves can be some of the best human beings that can be found, like this guy here, Bt'selem, and many more. Peace to you, forever, my Israeli friend.
@@sapphireemerald6882He already said he was not being treated as badly as Palestinians in jail.
Stopping the nazis was a ”revenge war” too I’m sure. This is a prevention war, to increase likelihood of you feeling safe allowing your kids to a love festival in the ME. That said, I think military service should always be volontary.
Totally he's so brave. I can't imagine my little brother having to go to jail, but I also can't imagine him killing innocent people. I can't believe Israel is confronting their own kids with such a horrendous choice to make.
Thank you young man for being on the right side of history. You're brave!
No he is a thoughtless coward.
@@olderstrbloke604 sorry you're butt hurt that he's not participating in a genocide and oppression.
Bro is scared to go fight terrorists and i think i speak for israel when i say we don't want little Babies in the idf. :)
@@khancharsithen he can live there as well. Send him to gaza
@daniellecruz2917 wow your comment is really idiotic if you are a troll congrats bc you got me.
What you said only makes sense if he was pro israeli government. Eg.
If he said that "israel is so good at filtering civ's from hamas" then you argue that "if they are so good at not harming civillians why dont you live in gaza". So your point is so dumb that it only makes sense if his stance was the exact opposite of what it is now.
He’s a small boy with a gigantic spirit. When they come for you, don’t break. Remain a legend. Even if nobody but you knows about it.
Small boy... Ffs he's 18, what's wrong with you people?
This is our future! Love and unity! Thanks for your brave heart!
In 1967 I chose Canada over Vietnam or jail. I’m still in Canada and grateful to be here.
Thank you.
What's your lineage
Bless you for your humanity!
..,,,Move if you protestors don't like your country.....Go help your terrorist Hamas & Putin
Own land, damn ! u Zionists have a great sense of humor.
He deserves a medal 🏅 such a kind soul who values his fellow human beings. His parents should be proud 👏🏽 ❤️
If I was his mother I'd be the proudest parent alive. He's an absolute credit to them and he talks such common sense. Netanyahu should hang his head in shame. Along with Biden and Sunak.
If I was his mother I would admit I raised a coward. Countries are founded on war. Israel was.
Proud of you. You are an inspiration for peace and non-violence among the people. May God bless you.
He refused to be a war criminal. I think his parents raised a good man.
He prolly also thinks their is 25 genders and he identifies as scared/pussc
Absolutely
Smart kid
💯
What kind of a democracy is Israel if they imprison cute little boys who want peace and not become genocidal baby killers?
Amazing. I am so proud of his prinicpals and his commitment to nonviolence. This kid is a role model.
May God protect this young man from any form of abuse.
Conscious objectors to this kind of tragedy make my heart proud. Same as the people who refused to fight in Russia. Muhammad Ali who refused to fight in Vietnam etc.
Age difference....
😊 sans avoir lu votre message, j'ai également évoqué Mohamed Ali, et je suis heureux de voir que je ne suis pas seul à avoir pensé à lui, en voyant ce jeune homme de bonne conscience. Merci à vous 🙏
Me too, such people bring hope into humanity.
This young man Tal Mitnick is truly Exemplary. His attitude 'Live and Let Live' is very humane indeed. He is only 18 , mind you! I must admit he is a brilliant independent Thinking Human.
Holding to high principles are what make life meaningful. See how late Boxer Muhammad Ali's legacy to Humanity explicitly tells this to us:
"Service to Others is the Rent you Pay for
Your Room in Heaven."
This young man is such an inspiration, so brave and courageous standing up for morality and freedom. Just wish other young people in Israel would do the same and take a stance for a chance of peace. It's the young that will change the world not the dinosaurs who are in charge in both Israel and the US.
Excellent interview. What a brave, articulate young person!
Smart kid, risking a lot for a very valuable reason.
This young man is amazing.. May you prosper. Sending love ❤❤
It’s refreshing to hear young people think and speak for themselves and to take a stand for what he knows is the right thing to do. Deep respect for this young man
He should try to become a politician that young man. Proud of him from Canada 🇨🇦
If he want to deal with hamas
Nah, he doesn’t want to, im his brother and I asked him once and he said he just wanted a normal life
What a brave, courageous young man. He is doing something. Never forget his name and what he stands for. Bravo young man.
Fantastic interview. A brave and highly intelligent young man. I feel for him and his family. There is hope for Israel and peace in the Middle East in future with a rising younger generation like him!
This young gentleman is a great example who deviates from the normal and accepted way of thinking. He talks about non-violence! This lady is moved by this angelic child’s voice! World is not devoid of divine hearted men and women!

In Israel, Palestine, and all over the world, Jehovah’s Witnesses are peaceful and do not go to war. Many are put in prison or are put to death for not going to war. Many Witnesses died in the concentration camps during the Holocaust for taking a neutral stand. 💞👍🏽✌🏽

Brave young man!
Good to see that there are still brave people out there with an incorruptable conscience.
Thank you Tal, you are an example for all of us.
What a matured brave young man at 18 years old. Good luck to you, my young friend, we are all supporting you in our own little ways. God bless
Tal, it takes some balls to make a statement like that. Your heart is in the right place. good deeds like this will be remembered way more vividly, never forget that, even though it might not seem like that for you right now. much love and strength

@@AntiCrimer
Netanyahu is stupid , arrogant and vicious,
That's not wisdom...i am sad to say. That's just A BOY possibly with a good and inocent heart that doesn't have the facts nor suffered what many of us did to understand that after all those years in wich Israel's giving a blind eye to palestinians (out of goodness out of the wish not to destroy the attacker, giving them chances again and again to think and be in peace) terror, violence, shooting (along the fact that we are not occupiers...this land was God given 3 times to jewish people thousands of years ago, before it's last proclaiming as a state)...peace cannot be acheaved unless both parts want to cooperate and (Gaza is on it's own since 2005...we left it without any demands and Westbank is not mannaged by Israel but by Palestinians) if they wouldn't do acts of terror they could of come in and get jobs, be free in our streets but they don't...so they are checked when comming in just like anyone would on any border in the world and. Just imagine, their terrorist regim don't want israel to be in Gaza (neither of us want that) even though they would be better to be part of us for their future and level of life. I am sad that the simple people in there don't have jobs...Hamas doesn't provide jobs just war, the financial and material help given to Gaza doesn't get to the peopke or those in need but taken by Hamass and kept/getting rich or invested in tunnels or weapons. Hamass keeps them poor and in a hard life, in fear (they fear hamass more than they fear israel), their healthcare is almost inexistent and the hospitals meant to give health care there are used as terror and weapons bases, as hiding places for terrorists we know it for more than a decade. So you see, they come into israel to receave gealthcare and jobs...they have no hope with Hamass there. Israel is pittying them and gives them money and (even vaccines in co vid...but be shore hamass used that for themselfs) electricity and water...that's not out of control nor because we are in Gaza...Gaza is free since 2005 but because if we won't give it😊 to them, they won't have any at all. They took the water pipes and water system we left in when we left Gaza, and made out of it rokets to shoot in israel...that's better than having a water system isn't it? So tgey remained without water. Do you think i get water for free in israel? Atabs in israel are fettung educated, have rights,get treated as equals ask them if they want to leave...everyone will say No! So you see if Gaza (Hamass) wouldn't of create terror and shoot on us for 25 years we wouldn't have the need to defend ourselfs in this war. We always said in all our actions there "we are not going to take Hamass down...we wanted them to flourish but all hamass wants is to use them as human shields oppening fire again and again without any concern because they knew we won't hurt Gaza's population not in purpose...we would anounce the innocent to leave in so many ways so they won't get hurt...and hamass is shooting from civilians homes to be protected by inocent souls. So you see this is not about land, we gave them land and it didn't result in peace, this is not about occupation we have the right to be on this land it is writen in the bible...since Abraham's days (first God gave this land to abraham and his descendants wich are jews and arabs) then God gave this land again to Jacob "Abraham's son" and at last God gave this land to Moses when he got people out of Egypt...do not be fooled by propaganda and lies. If we'll put our defence down we'll be exterminated...if they will put their weapons down, then it will be peace. I don't them to live just like i don't want us to be misplaced it is our right to be here. It's not about revenge not in israeli side...it is naive to think so (like that boy thinks) now i don't want peace as sad as it is. I want palestinians freed from Hamass so they'll have a future and live well when this war ends...i don't want israel to remain in Gaza even though i think someone should be thete and help them flourish, make shore they will have a better life and get educated after this war ends and then left to be free and i don't want to be shot on anymore we are shot at from Gaza for years...i don't want israeli children to live and get used to alarms...that's how my son grew up. We deserve our peace and that won't happen untill tge terrorists in Gaza are eliminated. That will bring bright days to israel and to Gaza people too. You people should understand. Right now, Israel freeing Gaza from hamass is the best solution for palestinian people...for those that are not involved in terror
@@CristinaRubin longest bs comment I have ever seen on yt. israel freeing Gaza from Hamas by bombing hospitals and killing innocent children and woman ? nice try netanyahu
Much more than psycho Bibi for sure. Not even gonna mention Bidemented because Israel controls the US and uses it a weapon of mass destruction.

Utterly sickening that a people who were victims of genocide & subhuman treatment would treat another people this way.
That is the result of untreated trauma!
No one in the IDF have ever been victims of anything. Israeli's are by far the most coddled, privileged, protected people on the planet.
Nothing surprises me about the human race. To think Jews are any different from the rest of us, they have played that card for decades. It’s like the anti semetic card, it’s so diluted now because of the actions of Israelis, Jews and Israelis have used it to stifle discussion and criticism for such a long time, now if anyone calls me anti semetic, it just doesn’t bother me at all. At the moment it’s a badge of honour.
They can't be trusted and I'm so ashamed of president BIDEN he seemed like he had compassion and empathy this makes me really sad because we have Biden or Trump and both would stand behind Israel.
Bravo parents.......... you raised him well, He denies to be a war criminal.
Thank you for being you. Having more maturity and empathy than most of our so called world leaders.

As usual, Amy Goodman simply pumps up well-intentioned Jewish commentators/activists whose basic zionist beliefs are left unchallenged in her superficial "reporting." Here, this kind, principled young man refers to the killing of "innocent civilians" on Oct. 7, 2023. Unless they are protesting Zionism in full solidarity with Palestinians, there are no innocent Israeli civilians under the age of 18. At that age Israeli males are required to serve 3 years and females 2 years in the vicious occupying military. All Israeli adults either actively serve or are reservists conditioned in racial supremacy and paranoia from toddlerhood, just like other land-stealing colonial-settlers around the world, including, of course, the US and European countries based in imperialist expansion. In just one show in December Goodman referred twice to the "murder" of Israelis by Hammas on Oct. 7, a term she has never used to describe the ravening dogs of Israeli genocide. The kibbutzim spearhead decades-long Zionist settlement by violent force of indigenous land, and the "love" concert on Oct. 7 took place between two kibbutz, drawing the kind of people who eithrr obliviously or hypocritically party near the border of an open-air prison like Gaza!🎉 Numerous TH-cam channels, like Electronic Intifada, Real News Network, Al-Jazeera, Owen Jones interviews, Break Out News, GK News, Young Turks, Middle East Eye, Mansour Shouman (in Gaza), MAS Knitting, Amazing Fishing, to name but a few, report far more broadly, deeply, and objectively than Goodman, which is not to say that they are faultless in petspectives and solidarity or that she never does very informative work. The military analysts paint a very different picture of Hammas' goals on Oct. 7. Goodman has patently and persiste🎉ntly attempted to frame the issue well before Oct. 7 as one of a conflict primarily between Jews and Palestinians instead of between working US taxpayers, 98% of whom are gentiles, and many thousands of whom are antiZionist Jews, and the corporate-dominated government here which has pumped $billions a year for decades into its client state of Israeli in return for Israeli assistance in its surveillance, paramilitary training, and weapons development to advance capitalist interests globally. Like many of those she favors to interview, e.g., Code Pink leaders and Jewish Voices for Peace (the name speaks for itself in its real position on resistance to military oppression) reps, there is silence on the plight of the millions stuck since 1948 in bad conditions in Palestinian refugee camps around the Middle East/Southwest Asia, on Israel's nuclear weapons production, and on its heavy role in serving as imperialism's "outpost of civilization among the barbarians," as Zionist leader Herzl in 1897 put it in seeking support from European monarchies for settlements in Palestine. Since Oct 7, and by at least mid-December when my listening to her show became irregular, Goodman's coverage has included only authors Tanehisi- Coates and Nguyen with a brief flash of Col. Wright at a demo as people not either of Jewish or Middle Eastern descent. At the national Nov. 4 Ceasefire demo in DC she managed to include brief comments from a couple of DSA whites, ethnicity unknown, hardly representative of the diversity of the marchers. Goodman included interviews on two days from Amiri Haas, a lavishly-praised reporter with El-Haaretz, a mainstream allegedly liberal Zionist newspaper known for its steady barrage of rabble-rousing front-page rants against the presence of African refugees attracted to Israel for its crafted image of democracy.
What a well-balanced young man who thinks more clearly than the adults ruling Israel. Peace happens around the table not on the battlefield
This is what bravery looks like. This young man is a true Patriot.
And he really does stand for the true best interests of Israelis unlike the fundamentalist fascists in the Likud.

I’m so impressed with his wisdom, the future looks very bright for him. Bravo!
The most beautiful, humane, honest, and spiritually illumined news commentation I have ever seen by a Youth. Thank you, Tal.
Stay safe young man.
This young man has more wisdom and humanity than his government
That's not a very high bar. I agree, though. His actions contain more wisdom and courage than most people are capable of achieving. Good lad.
@_MAX__bk1029 Sure, Mr. Keyboard Warrior. 🤣👍
@_MAX__bk1029Are you currently proudly commiting acts of genocide for your country?
That's why there's Been a Pandemic of CHILD ABUSE, child trafficking over the decades. How can Children be like this young man when they're being abused? Children were Supposed to be the Social IMMUNE system all these decades but, they were DISMANTLED INSTEAD by "Parents" who Raised Sociopath "Leaders" and turned their children into Order Followers for a paycheck
@_MAX__bk1029 To be called a traitor from genocide supporters is a medal of honor.
Any decent person in the world would want to be an Israeli Jew just for the pleasure of being called a traitor by people like you.
very brave young man,so good to see that there are genuinely good people in the world.Its extremely easy to become disheartened with when you see the way the world is and some of the horrible things that happen in the name of so called "defence" or "justice" but things like this give much needed hope to the people out there who want true justice and are not afraid to stand up for it.thank you Tal.
Violence and revenge will only lead to destruction. I salute Tal for standing up to what was right. He has shown compassion than the entire Israeli government. And his interpretation of the “from the river to the sea” was outstanding.
A bright young man with compassion for everyone and I hope he has a very good future. This is what the new leaders should look like, putting others above oneself.
Such a brave young man! He understands that innocent blood does not wash away innocent blood. The next generations can only move forward with people like him.
Netanyahu doesn't understand that killing all those Palestinians will not bring back the 1200 Murdered Israelis.
He is a coward...
@@paulscountry456oh Paul, he’s more of a man you’ll ever be
Big Hugs & Love to You
Thank You for Choosing
PEACE 🕊💖🕊

Shalom Tal Mitnick, thank you for your voice and action ❤
"We need to keep fighting for a JUST future." Please support and have this young man again.
Finding solutions to cease fire is urgent.
So glad to see there are such smart, brave, and fair people among Israel ‘s young generation. Imagine, this young man to become the Israel president to replace Netanyahu.
Mr Mitnick is on the right side of history. The world will remember this.
What a brave human being ❤
Thank you so much Sir... Israel should have leaders like You 🙏
Dear Tal, if you read our comments, and you definitely will read us, pay attention to so many people from all over the world expressing so much respect to you, a very young boy! Don't let soulless monsters break you. You have chosen the right path, be a guide for the rest of the youth on this path of goodness, peace and justice. Make it clear that justice will prevail! God bless you!
My brother had a friend from Israel who refused to join the IDF, this was back in the early 2000's, he got off on medical grounds (psychological), he said fook that for a game of soldiers!! Doubt they would allow that now. May God bless this young man.
Thank you Democracy now for bringing us up to date on what's going on in the world 😊
Total Respect
Thanks DN

When you talk about candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize then here is a very strong candidate along the South African representatives respresenting the ICJ Case.
Your a hero young man for standing for peace in a peaceful way. I pray we have a peaceful political solution for this war that allows Palestinians and Israel to live in peace together. And work together to move forward. The Israeli government has oppressed Palestinians for too long.
Only with human heart can understand humanity❤❤❤. Tal is one in a million man on earth💚💚💚.
Kid has more principles than grown ass adults
Grown ass people raised him!
He has brain, and a heart ❤️
Netanyahu and his team must meet with Hitler in hell!
Saying that since the 70s. I had to be the responsible adult as a child and teen AND was Criminalized for doing what the "adults" FAILED t do! Massive Dysfunction in the USrael

Tal… you ARE the future. Never surrender your principles. ✌️❤️✌️❤️✌️❤️✌️❤️✌️❤️✌️❤️
I really like to focus on the good of this young and beautiful person but the scene of so many killed Palestinians, so many of the children, disturbs me, distracts me from writing about the humanity of this young man. My hats off to Mr. Tal Mitnick.
He's an icon. A conscious and strong young beautiful soul. Just imagine the pressure he must be undergoing.
The moral clarity and courage of this 18 year old Israeli kid is beyond incredible! As is his maturity and thoughtful views. And even more so when you consider not only his age but the fact that young people in Israel are usually more militaristic, racist and supremacist than their parents already were. He deserves the world’s admiration, gratitude and support.
Courage, my friend in peace. Stand strong and firm in your resolve. This is a message of encouragement for others questioning the war of attrition and retaliation.
This young man is an incredible brave and powerful being , he is a true leader of the beginning of the change from insanity to sanity and peace
He is a sweetheart ,brave young man ,many people feel the same ,war is not a solution.
You have my full support young man. Thank you for your courage in speaking up for peace and justice.
Hold tight brother. you have a lot of people praying for you and our brother/sisters in Palestine.
Thank you Tal for taking this step and making this statement. You obviously need to do this for Tal Metnick however I hope watchers and those that hear about you come over to your side and way of thinking. Your parents, family ans friends who know you must be very proud.
