💥Announcement! Tuesday 07.04.2026💥
📜 Info Evening: Conscription? We refuse! 📜
Tuesday, 07 April 2026 | 7.00 pm | Rote Lilly, Emserstraße 114, 12051 Berlin
Arrival: U8, S41, S42, S45, S46, S47, Bus 170, 246, 277, 377, M44 Hermannstraße
📣 Call to action: https://asanb.noblogs.org/?p=16467 - @stadtteilkomitee_neukoelln
#b0704 #ConscientiousObjection
Together with comrades from the International of Conscientious Objectors (IDK), we want to examine the new “Military Service Modernisation Act”:
What should you do if you receive a questionnaire? Who is subject to conscription? And how can we resist it?
We want to discuss these and many other questions in order to find answers in these turbulent times and to strengthen ourselves together as opponents of war:
as young people, parents and everyone else affected by militarism, which is encroaching on all areas of life.

Conscientious objection is always an option:

"High-profile alleged war crimes, including the strike on the Minab girls’ school, as well as the US attack of the Iranian Naval ship returning from an Indian training exercise, have disturbed many US soldiers, [Mike] Prysner [of the Center on Conscience and War] said. He told Prem his organization has seen a '1,000% increase' in new conscientious-objector clients since the start of the war in Iran."

"Donald Trump’s administration is moving thousands of US service members to the Middle East East, amid the disastrous US-Israeli war on Iran. And, just as with the historic public opposition to the war, there is unprecedented dissent brewing inside the military – with some troops currently on their way to the Middle East seeking to refuse fighting."

Is it true that only religious people who are part of traditional peace churches, are eligible to exempted from a #USMilitary draft on the grounds of #ConscientiousObjection ?
Also what about non-Christians, including Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, etc.?
The good news is that current US law recognizes that religious faith (or even affiliation with a traditional peace church) is not required to be recognized as a CO.

https://jewishcoproject.org/2025/08/13/history-1989-statement-by-south-african-jewish-cos/
Sharing this important snapshot of Jewish history, a statement signed by 23 South African Jewish conscientious objectors during the days of apartheid.
Excerpt: NATIONAL JEWISH CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS STATEMENT.
Without coercion, influence, and of our own free will and conscience; we, individual members of the Jewish community, have adopted the following stance:
As Jews, members of a people who possess a religious tradition of social justice and who have endured a history of oppression, we have resolved not to serve in the South African Defence Force. South African society is founded on a system of racial inequality and discrimination, rejected by the majority of its people. The SADF plays a role in maintaining the universally condemned system of apartheid. We regard the system of apartheid as working against the interests of the people of South Africa and in obstructing peaceful development in the region. The SADF’s ongoing destabilisation of the Frontline states, its role in South Africa’s black townships and the general militarisation of South African society are also particularly worrying to us. Our opposition to being conscripted into the SADF is based on our Jewish identity which consists of religious, historical, and cultural elements. Jewish sensitivity and consciousness, born out of oppression in the form of ghettos, pogroms, inquisitions, expulsions and the unique suffering of the holocaust; when combined with our religious and traditional longing for a just society, demand the active pursuit of peace and the elimination of all forms of injustice and racism.
“One who has the opportunity to protest against evil and remains indifferent is deemed culpable by G-d“
(Shmot Rabba 1:2)We see our objection to serving in the SADF as an expression of our Jewish faith and heritage, and as loyal to the majority of South Africans. We wish to make a constructive and peaceful contribution to South Africa’s future in the interests of all its people.
There are very limited options open to those opposed to conscription. We therefore call for alternatives to be made
available. We believe that non-punitive, constructive community service provides such a concrete alternative to military service. In this way, national service will become beneficial to the entire South African community.We stand in solidarity with Jewish objectors Dave Bruce and Saul Batzofin and other imprisoned conscientious objectors and call for their immediate release.
Signed by 33 Jewish conscientious objectors, in Johannesburg and
in Cape Town. 21 September 1989.#ConscientiousObjection #Judaism #SouthAfrica #Apartheid #Mazeldon #Peace #Shalom #ShalomSalaam #Consciption #Draft #MilitaryDraft

Why soldiers can’t claim #ConscientiousObjection if ordered to suppress protests
Published: June 30, 2020
"Despite feeling conflicted, National Guardsmen who felt the mission in Lafayette Park violated their personal values and moral code could not have refused to follow the president’s order by claiming conscientious objector status. People with religious or moral objections to war may avoid enlisting as conscientious objectors, and those who experience religious or personal transformations after joining the armed forces may be honorably discharged as conscientious objectors if they request.
"But military regulations give members little ability to disobey lawful orders on the grounds of conscience."
