At 18, Sophia chose prison over participating in occupation. "When you recognize you have a choice, you have responsibility for that choice." Her story reveals how militarism dehumanizes everyone it touches. 

 "Violence will only breed more violence." The only future we have is a future together." 

• Sophia Orr who spent 85 days in military prison for refusing to serve in the Israeli army. 

• Her courage challenges us to ask ourselves: Are we collaborators or resistors in systems of violence? What choices are we making with our privilege?

• Her refusal to join Israel's military wasn't just personal—it was a political act to break cycles of bloodshed. How are we using your voice to stand against dehumanization?
