January 9, 2009 is the International Day of Solidarity with the Shministim--Israeli youth refusing to serve in the IDF. Or Ben-David, 19, is sentenced to her third term in a military prison for refusing enlistment. Meanwhile, Jamal Juma, Coordinator for the grassroots Stop the Wall Campaign, is being held without charges as the Israeli military continues its repression of Palestinian activists in the West Bank.
San Franciscans, organized by the Dialogues Against Militarism project, spent several hours passing out information to passers-by about the Shministim and Palestinian political prisoners as well as urging people to write letters of support.
