Omer Goldman, daughter of a former head of the Israeli intelligence organization, Mossad, has gone to jail as a conscientious objector.

She visited the West Bank and came to know too much about what the colonists were doing to the Palestinians to be able to serve in a military that is an adjunct to colonization.

Ironically, the ultra-orthodox Jews, many of whom are most militant about further displacing the Palestinians, are excused from military service . . .
