What does it mean to resist from within?

21 May 2025 by admin in Blog

Across borders, soldiers are refusing. From the U.S. to Israel, our anti-war movements are linked, which is why we are coming together. Join us for a powerful international conversation this Wednesday between U.S. and Israeli military refusers—former soldiers who made the difficult, courageous decision to reject military service on moral or ethical grounds. This isn’t a panel about hypotheticals. It’s about people who put everything on the line to say: I won’t participate in this. RSVP here, and let your communities know about the webinar happening this Thursday, at 2pm EST.

Their stories are deeply personal. But they also speak to something larger—about what it means to stand against state violence from inside the institutions that uphold it. We’ll hear about the cost of refusal, the isolation, the backlash—and the forms of solidarity that keep refusers going.RSVP now to hear firsthand accounts from war refusers, understand the consequences of their dissent, and most importantly, learn how international solidarity can support objectors in crisis.&nbsp;<strong>As the contradictions inherent to war and genocide deepen from Palestine and around the world, more and more soldiers are quietly questioning—and some are choosing to resist. Let’s make sure they’re not alone.

In solidarity,

Mattan Helman

Executive Director

Refuser Solidarity Network
