Well, there is another view, which I happen to share, that the mere fact of being a citizen of Israel, of living in the state of Israel is full of moral dilemmas.
6, 8 years ago I read about an Israeli citizen, a beautiful jewish woman, with long, dark hair, who gave up her citizenship and immigrated to Australia on purely moral grounds. She said she couldn't stand being a citizen and paying taxes that one way or the other would end up financing the repression of the palestinian people.
And I don't think she's the only one.
If I were an Israeli citizen serving the Army would be totally out of question. And I suspect I would end up joining her in exile...
I'd probably go to the US, Australia or New Zealand where my tax money would get a less depraved destination, where Indians, Aborigines and Maoris are at least being currently compensated for their losses at the hands of the white supremacist states instead of being locked in reservations... getting casinos, financial subsidies, etc... instead of walls, electrified fences, minefields and machine gun nests.
