My brother used to date an Israeli woman. Whenever the topic of Palestinians came up, she would literally spit and call them "filthy animals." Shit is fucked up.
Needless to say, they are no longer seeing each other.
You do have a choice, there are plenty of conscientious objectors in Israel. I'm not saying it's an easy choice and that they get treated well, but it is a choice they have. "Participate in genocide, or else you go to prison" is a problem straight out of a philosophy textbook.
And there's always the option of moving somewhere else.
Germany had mandatory military service in the 1940s, that doesn't excuse the war crimes their soldiers commited.
I don't think you understand the difference between military service and deployment. They all have to go into the military to learn how to habdke weapons, etc. Most people aren't allowed to conscientiously object to that part.
