Muli Linder, an Israeli refusenik, who is touring the United States as part of the "Courage to Refuse" movement will speak at a public forum in Madison:

Tues, April 20th, 7:00 pm
The Crossing
1127 University Ave.

In January 2002, a group of 50 Israeli reserve officers and combat soldiers drafted a letter that became known as the Combatant's Letter. This group of active reserve combatants has grown to include nearly 600 signatories (known as Refuseniks) from across the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

They call themselves Courage to Refuse (CTR) for refusing to serve militarily in the West Bank and Gaza strip in the interest of peace, Israel's security, Israel's moral character, and the human rights of millions of Palestinians. Almost half of Courage to Refuse have been court martialed and jailed for periods of up to 35 days as a result of their refusal to serve in an unjust occupation.

Dr. Muli Linder, a medical doctor, was an officer in the IDF's Medicine Corps when he became the 67th Refusenik to sign the Combatant's Letter. Come and hear him speak on the costs of war and peace in Israel.
