Ovadia Ezra, The Ethics of Selective Disobedience and Military Service in Israel

Ovadia Ezra, The Ethics of Selective Disobedience and Military Service in Israel
 
April 6
 5-6 PM
Alice Peters Auditorium
 
Ovadia Ezra will reflect on the unique model of “Selective Disobedience” which has been developed in Israel for soldiers who refuse military service in the occupied territories or in military jails in which Palestinians are kept.  Ezra will share his personal experience and reflect on ethical issues connected with the topic.
 
Ovadia Ezra is Chair of the Philosophy Department at Tel Aviv University in Israel. He was incarcerated three times in a military jail for refusing military service in the occupied territories.  He is the author of several books, including Moral Dilemmas in Real Life: Current Issues in Applied Ethics (2006).
