There are many people there not committing war crimes. This particular issue might need a little more nuance.
The great majority of adult Israelis are militant settler-colonizers and Palestinians have the legal right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle and Israel, as an occupier, has no right to “self defense.”

link: Conscription in Israel Since the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948, fixed-term military service has been compulsory in Israel.
I don't see how your statement and the hyper-texted link are relevant. I went through the sections but it's just their basic military service that a lot of countries require?
This is not in defense of a government, just want to make sure we're not making vague blanket statements on a populace.
There are anti-Zionist Israelis, but they are very much in the minority. It’s dangerous to be vocal about it.
