in the mandatory
Israeli military service due to her political beliefs.

“On
February 25, the date of my conscription, I will refuse to enlist and will go
to military prison because of that. I reject participating in the violent
policies of oppression and apartheid that Israel has imposed on the
Palestinian people, especially now during the war,” Orr stated.
After
announcing her position, Orr received death and rape threats and was accused of
treason on social media. Her friends even described her as a self-hating Jew.
The
British newspaper, The Times, quoted Sophia as saying, “Terrible things have
happened in Israel, but terrible things are also happening in Gaza, and I feel
sorry for everyone.”
Previously,
Tal Mitnick, an 18-year-old from Tel Aviv, was sentenced to 30 days in prison
for refusing to enlist in the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). He condemned the
aggression on Gaza, describing it as a “revenge campaign… not only against the
Hamas movement but against the Palestinian people.”
On
the day of his draft, Mitnick entered the Tel HaShomer IOF recruitment center
with other members of the Mesarvot network, a group of young men who
conscientiously object to the military service and hold anti-occupation
sentiments. He attributed his decision to his dissatisfaction with the war on
Gaza and the
illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine, stating that he did not
want to participate “in the continuation of repression and the cycle of
bloodshed, but rather to work directly for a solution.”
