About the highly controversial issue of conscientious objection to military orders and military service in Israel. Through interviews with four former military men and one civilian, the filmmaker traces the origins of conscientious objection in Israel back to the country's invasion of Lebanon in 1982. Originally called "Operation Peace for Galilee," the Lebanon War was the first Isaeli military incursion that large portions of the country's population considered unjust. Nevertheless combat raged on, and as the situation began to degenerate into a Vietnam-type morass, where soldiers were being given immoral or outright illegal orders from their superiors, the public's concern turned to protest. In this way, the phenomenon of conscientious objection grew and took up a more prominent position in public discourse. Here, the filmmaker is out to prove that conscientious objection--whether to specific military orders or to military service itself--is the only way to uphold humanity in the face of baseless wars and military occupations.
