George Cadman of Free Radio Santa Cruz interviews Peretz Kidron about the current political situation in Israel and about his book, "Refusenik! Israel's Soldiers of Conscience". Peretz Kidron is a freelance journalist, broadcaster and writer. In the late 1960's he became active in the radical left and the peace movement in Israel. He is a founding member of the Israeli Council for Israeli-Palestinian Peace and serves on the steering committee of the Israeli human rights group B'tselem. Having refused to perform military duty in the occupied Palestinian territories, he now handles international contacts for Yesh Gvul (There Is A Limit). Founded at the time of the invasion of Lebanon in 1982, the group has become the voice and campaigning vehicle for the so-called refuseniks-Israeli soldiers who refuse morally objectionable assignments (notably in the West Bank and Gaza).
