[Marxism] First Gaza refusenik jailed

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

> Dear Supporters,
> The first Gaza refusenik was sent to prison for a term of 14 days. Courage
> to refuse members are in contact with his family and are helping in any way
> we can. To date there are about ten refuseniks, but the IDF is making
> special efforts to silence this story and prevent it from reaching other
> soldiers. We assume this is the reason why most refuseniks have not yet been
> trialed (some are waiting for over a week now).
> Our demonstration <http://seruv.org.il/english/news_item.asp?msgid=269> last
> Thursday went very well, hundreds showed up and protested against the war. A
> video of the demonstration can be viewed here
> <http://couragetorefuse.org/English/article.asp?msgid=275>(Hebrew, English
> subtitles) This, along with other efforts of the Israeli Peace Camp,
> contributed to the public discourse by introducing new voices- this time
> critical, about the war. We plan on continuing our demonstrations and plan
> to hold a public debate on the subject of refusal next Sunday.
> I wish to thank all those of you who proposed to donate to Courage to
> Refuse. Your help is much needed. An online donation System is now in place,
> allowing donations via credit card.  The donation is processed by The
