Dear brothers and sisters-in-arts,

You see, attached cartoon is not full-coloured.

And there is a strong reason for this.

Background, like Israel itself, is immersed in darkness.

A line of plastic block indicates that it's a road blockade.

Two trigger-happy IOF soldiers are searching a defenseless Palestinian civilian with hands-behind-neck.

They are pissed-off, shouting to a soldier who is leaving.

He refuses to keep brutalizing civilians.

Took off helmet, thrown M16 away and he's about to undress his combat fatigues.

He doesn't want to fight this dirty \"war against terrorism\" because he realizes that he turned himself a terrorist.

Look at his uniform. It's no longer dark, no longer olive-green. It's white! He found a light out of the darkness.

His hands and face are now coloured. That's because now he's a human being. Not only a war machine blindly following orders.

This is not a soldier. He's a blood and flesh human being.

He's a REFUSENIK!
