Abby Martin highlights IDF soldier and conscientious objector, Natan Blanc, who faces time in prison for refusing to fight against innocent civilians in Gaza:

'It is clear that the Netanyahu Government...it is not interested in finding a solution to the existing situation, but rather in preserving it...We will talk of deterrence, we will kill some terrorists, we will lose some civilians on both sides, and we will prepare the ground for a new generation full of hatred on both sides...And they can continue with this bloody cycle, with no end in sight. But we, as citizens and human beings, have a moral duty to refuse to participate in this cynical game. That is why I have decided to refuse to be inducted into the Israeli Army on the date of my call-up order—November 19, 2012.'
