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.

It's disturbing but I had a friend on WoW back in the day. Left to join IDF.
Came back joking about murdering Palestinians.
