Steppin' Out Of Babylon: Radio Interviews

Peretz Kidron is an Israeli writer and peace activist. He can be heard on KPFA radio where he has been reporting for years. He works with the organization Yes-Gvul, meaning "There is a limit", which supports the growing Refusenik movement in Israel-- the members of the Israeli military who refuse to go to the occupied territories to oppress the Palestinian people. These are soldiers of conscience who are the cutting edge of those Israelis who oppose the occupation. According to Kidron, there were at least 13,000 of these Refuseniks at the time of this interview which, if it were to happen proportionately in the US would equal 50,000 US military-- a significant number with a significant effect. The number is growing all the time as others are influenced by their fellow military who take a stand. It's also a good model for the US. Kidron urges people to adopt a Refusenik and support him/her financially and morally. What if there were a war and nobody came?
