    And face being dragged before court for refusing to follow orders. The army is very well known for giving soldiers freedom to interpret orders.

    I was going to joke and say they’ll have to just stay at home, but those homes are likely illegal settlements

    Yeah, I’m sure a soldiers don’t normally face reprisal for refusing to follow orders. /s

    Maybe… don’t issue orders that may be war crimes?

      I believe it was Chris Browning who showed that German Wehrmacht soldiers, who refused to be in Einsatzgruppen didn’t get punished for it.

      Yes, it’s a very sticky wicket. In Israel’s case you can just be a conscientious objector and either make up an excuse for non-service, or take the jail time. In places that don’t even pose as Liberal democracies that’s not an option, and you’re best off trying to defect to someone else. If you can’t manage that either, it’s basically just time to survive while choosing kindness wherever you can, even if it means some loss and some risk. The soldier in The Pianist giving the guy cake comes to mind.

    Gee I don’t know … they call themselves the Chosen People and require everyone else to do that too or they levy accusations of antisemitism.

    How can a Chosen Person TM do a war crime ? Unpossible.
