See also: Refuznik

The refuzniks (Hebrew sarvanîm , of sarav : he refused) are the Israeli Conscientious objectors , which refuse to be useful in Tsahal, the army of Israel. Some of these soldiers in particular refuse to fight in occupied territories. It is an important movement, which strongly develops, although the objection is badly accepted in Israel.

This movement appeared in 1979 with Gadi Algazi which was the first to refuse to be useful during its military service in the occupied territories in Palestine.
