Young refuseniks burn their IOF draft papers in the middle of Tel Aviv

They refuse to serve in the Israeli Occupation Forces, and are willing to go to military jail for their position. The new generation of refuseniks is supported by the older, many of them spent months in jail already

I have to completely disagree. What are the more reliable news sources?

As the US edges closer to bombing Iran, Israel killed over 51 starving Palestinians at a so-called aid site today.

And the UK government says nothing. Still arming Israel. Still enabling genocide.

End all arms sales. Sanction Israeli war criminals. Stop being America’s poodle.

Where do you think all the waste products from burning coal went? I’ll take a small amount of radioactive waste over a completely screwed climate.

Looking at the response from SeeTickets Glastonbury - my progress went from 0.03 to 0.04 (on a scale of 0 to 100) and it has been on 2 bars the whole time.

Not necessarily - if there's 6 people all trying, when one gets tickets then the other 5 will leave.
