There is this great organization in Israel called New Profile. It aims to move Israeli culture and society away from militarization and towards a new kind of thinking.
We understand that the state of war in Israel is maintained by decisions made by our politicians - not by external forces to which we are passively subject.
We are no longer willing to take part in such choices.We will not go on enabling them by obediently, uncritically supplying soldiers to the military which implements them. We will not go on being mobilized, raising children for mobilization, supporting mobilized partners, brothers, fathers, while those in charge of the country go on deploying the army easily, rather than building other solutions.
Right on.
Below is a link to the pdf of an exhibition this organization is putting on. It is a bunch of examples of the militarization with in Israeli culture- everything from a breast cancer fund to a children's coloring book...
