"At a military prison in central Israel, 18-year-old Itamar Greenberg sat in a US Army-issued army uniform as the Hollywood blockbuster “American Sniper” blared from the rec room’s TV.They might have broken their ol' timey sound-barrier....and, rocketed forward, into the '60s!!!!

But Greenberg is not a soldier, and the desert camouflage fatigues are the only military uniform the so-called refusenik - as conscientious objectors are called in Israel - has ever worn.
.
Greenberg has been in and out of prison for the last year, serving a total of 197 days over five consecutive sentences. Earlier this month, Greenberg was released from the Neve Tzedek prison for the last time.
.
His crime? Refusing to enlist after being summoned for military service, which is compulsory for most Jewish Israelis - and some minorities - over the age of 18.
.
Greenberg said his refusal to serve came as the “culmination of a long process of learning and moral reckoning.”
