Portraits Project - Resisting the War - Israel
Yotam, 30, is a social worker, a law student, and a training coordinator for an association that works to promote equal rights for Palestinians in Jerusalem. During Israel’s 2014 war on Gaza, he was a combat soldier. He describes a dual experience where on the one hand he explicitly condemns the war, and on the other hand, feels the need to be sensitive in situations that are incompatible with this belief. Friends he loves are fighting in Gaza, which he opposes. “However, every time they returned home in the past months, it was clear to me that first thing, I am going to see them. As someone who was a combat soldier in the Israeli military during Tzuk Eitan [Operation “Protective Edge”], for the sake of my mental health, I require myself to cut back in most situations, and only if invited to speak, will I do so”.
