'I will not be part of it’: Israeli teen jailed for refusing military service speaks out

Itamar Greenberg, 19, was jailed for 197 days for refusing to enlist in the Israeli military based on his opposition to the country’s offensive in Gaza. Speaking with NBC News' Hala Gorani in Tel Aviv, he said he did not want any part in the war, and that the “main job” of the Israeli army is to “oppress and kill people”. Greenberg left his ultra-Orthodox upbringing to join a group of like-minded activists, who now protest weekly to call for an end to the violence.
