*cont'd* I would respect her more if she contributed despite being a pacifist. And to all the Israel bashers commenting here, think for a moment that in our country, these types of protests happen with PROTECTION of the police and even the idf, name another country in the middle east where the government protects those who protest against it.

[AyeletLovesIsrael]

I have mixed feelings about this video. As a Zionist, I disagree with this girl's refusal to enlist. However, I respect her for standing up for her beliefs, and accepting the prison time, as opposed to many dodgers I know who pretended to be insane or religious instead of just admitting they're against enlisting. I think she should consider serving our country in another way though, there are plenty of non violent national service programs, I would respect her more if she contributed despite be

You are very brave, I commend you!

Taking a stand against occupation is something the whole world needs to do. I hope people follow your lead. You made an important step towards palestinians regaining human rights and freedom.

International law must be inforced.

[stopisraelnow]

Great video! Where is BUSH? Oh, know were to be found.

[bentagle]

Hey.... not every one is made foe army...

[laegunum]

Refusing to defend your country is quite despicable.

[helenbransgrove]

Refusing enforce a genocidal occupation is heroic.

Israel, the Judeo-nazi state jails its young people for refusing to violate international law.

[lushlars]

nice work. thx.

[ninaquero]

Sahar Vardi, you are an inspiration around the world and you teach us the meaning of COURAGE and MORAL VALUES. SHALOM to you, and all the others like you who keep our faith in a better world, like the one we dreamed of when we were young. From Argentina, stay strong!

[MakkabI]

what a fucking whore bitch. im gonna smash Sahar Vardi if i see her one day!

Tonga & Israel & USA forever!

[JottoL]

My Makkabi, it this the only way you know how to voice your disagreement with someone - to call them names and threaten them. Your behavior suggests that you have not thought through your own convictions to be able to state them rationally. JottoL

[sifolux]

jottol - you can look at the other comments over here...israelis, and at times jews are attacked here under the casus-beli of "racism", "state terrorism", or any other shit people throwing shit at the jewish country, calling for its destruction and eliminating all jewish caracter to the country...people have the right to respond..

[CannonFodder77]

Amazing!....A Flower in a sea of extreemist nationalism and racism.

[CannonFodder77]

Respect to these peace loving moderate Israelis from Europe!

[jebentijaovo]

i'm sorry i couldn't see this video, but the description is enough. kudos sahar, hope you are out of prison by now. and i also hope that your country will start respecting the international protocols it had signed and NOT imprison you again. so good to see young people using their brains and acting on common sense and humanity. be good :)

[unknownpua]

haha .... give her time...

a terrorist will kill some one in her family and then shes gonna cry like a lil bitch.

[lushlars]

yes, i agree. we need to do something about the massad.

[JottoL]

Yes, if a terrorist kills someone in her family, she will no doubt mourn and cry; but unlike you and too many others she and her family will not go out and terroize others thus making the circle of destruction go around one more time. JottoL

[sifolux]

jottol, i dont know what news channel your watching..(probably al-jaz..), but for the last 60 years both sides have bein terrorizing eachother...please stop your one sided hypocracy.

[JottoL]

Sifolux, the largely ineffective Kassam rockets from Gaza in response to the illegal Israeli siege are the only organized acts of terror by the Palestinians I know of. The organized resistance in the West Bank to the destruction of housing, the confiscation of land, the physical harrassment of women and children by settlers, as any IDF soldiers can tell you is almost entirely non-violent. A comparison of civilian death totals tells who are the greatest terrorists.

[sifolux]

pleas enough with the hypocracy jottol, 5,000 Total Palestinains killed since 2000 , the bloodiest 8 years of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. caused by intifada (bloody war declared by Palestinians)[SELF-IMPOSED]

[sifolux]

25,000 Arabs killed by Syria 1980-1981 (Hama Massacre) 400,000 in 5 years in Darfur, countless raped (asupported by the arableague )

Saddam- 100'000 Shiite killed in one represion,100000 Kurds

In India the Muslims felt like chopping off a piece of India to create a Muslim state Pakistan .BTW, the UN resolution for Pakistan was in the same year as Israels 1947. Interesting parallel. Enormous numbers of refugees, Hindus and Sighs escaping to India, 750 000 died. And? Any peep about Pakistan?

[19toto]

When one member of her family will be killed by terrorists, how will she react ?

[MuchoRabaldo76]

Yeah i think she should join the idf, its a shame. They need to her to harass little children thats on their way to school. And also if theres settlers trowing stones at arrabic people, she should be there to prevent other people from videotaping it.

[sifolux]

bunch of high school kids wich stick to sloggens..in a couple of years they in most cases wake up to reality and change there point of view completely, this video says, and demonstraits nothing.

[JottoL]

Yes, sifolux, some will eventually conform their lives to reality, but many will continue their committment to change reality. Pity those who believe in nothing more than the world the way it is.

[sifolux]

"changing reality" - this is not changing the world to the better...its just adding more fuel to war...until now the israeli nation has realized then when ever giging our hands and show curtesy to peace, we get more war...so...your slogens are very beutiful...but they are not changing the reality...even if the intension is good...

[Minionuup]

See! Even in Israel they have the left to brainwash thier young. They train them to offer themselves up to thier enemies. So ironic.

[JottoL]

Or perhaps unlike many Israelis she has read and believes the Prophets of Israel.

[sifolux]

jottol...many israelis are not religiouse, and therefore there would be no reason for them to take israels ancient prphets words an given...(and all israelis read it, we learn it in school)...

[Minionuup]

So Israeli prophets teach you to allow your enemy to "devour" you? Are you jewish?

[helenbransgrove]

Israel has the fourth most powerful military in the world - courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer and the plunder of Palestinian land and resources.

Massacre Arabs, whimper anti-Semitism and whine that Israel is about to be destroyed by a few primitive rockets.

The Judeo-Nazi state is planning a genocidal onslaught on Gaza.

As Noam Chomsky says "Israel has chosen expansion, terrorism and oppression over security and peace"

Free Palestine, end the apartheid, end the genocide

Zionism=Nazism

[Minionuup]

The only "Plundering" of palestinian resources is done by hamas and hezzbollah.

[helenbransgrove]

You Judeo-Nazis have been parasites on the U.S. taxpayer for decades. You can't function without stealing Palestinian land, resources and personal property.

Israel the parasite, Nazi terrorist state.

Incompetent Neanderthal goons, who can't build a state without parasitism, theft and plunder.

[fresemp]

Thank god for normal people.

Kolhazman, Sahar
