The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

Conscientious objector Hallel Rabin was sent to the military prison because of her refusal to join an army of occupation which oppresses the Palestinians. She has asked - and fully deserves - for public support for her struggle. The army`s method of dealing with refusers and conscientious objectors (male or female alike) is incremental sentences of a month at a time, After each term the objector is again ordered to enlist, refuses again and is sent again to prison. Hallel Rabin is now undergoing the third such one-month term, and many more can follow, Using this method enables the army to avoid a court martial which would be held in public and where the defendant can be represented by a lawyer and call witnesses. Instead, the cumulative one-month terms are issued at `instant trials` held in camera at an officer`s bureau and lasting about five minutes. `Mesarvot` and `Yesh Gvul` invite the public to attend a protest vigil in support of Hallel and decrying her incarceration, Today, Saturday October 31st, 2020 at 12:30 On the mountainside facing Military Prison 6, from where protesters are visible - and audible - to prisoners (and to their guards).
