Soldiers and reservists in Israeli and American army, military and armed forces are refusing to kill innoncent men, women and children
in the name of War on terrorism, national security and defense. For their refusal to continue to serve in the military or refuse redeployment,
they have been labeled traitors and unpatriotic. These objectors have spoken out on the consequences of violence and war towards occupied and
oppressed men, women and children in both Occupied Palestine and Iraq. They see the way to stop terrorism is to stop terrorising peoples and nations with armoured tanks,
weapons, indiscriminate boming, collective punishment and use of force. They have experienced first hand how war can destroy not only nations but childhoods, families,
innocence and security for families and children. At times they have been forced to carry out orders or face ridicule and being ostracized from their military unit
and support from military family community.
Amnesty International has stated that Israel is purposely denying water to Palestinians in occupied territories in hopes of pushing them off their lands which is against and violates International Law and ignores Palestinian human rights and equal access to water.
Water is a scarce resource in the Middle East and as climate change becomes a harsher and bigger challenge, water will become a necessity that could led to war on a regional and global scale.
Israeli military actions allows illegal Israeli settlers to not only steal water owned by Palestinian farmers but also to have more land to build illegal settlements. "Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink." From the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.
