I was first thinking that these people who refuse to go to the army must be Israeli Arabs, but I found out that Israeli Arabs are forbidden from joining the army, even if they want.  Israeli Arabs are second class citizens..
If I am not mistaken , for the exception of druze, israeli arabs are exempt from the obligatory military service however they have the freedom to enlist if they wish. You may find some bedouins from the desert al naqab (negev) in the army.
Althought Arab druze israeli males (druze females are exempt which is not the case for israeli jew females) have to serve in the army at the age of 19, they are still considered second class citizens. There are some grades in the army they are not allowed to reach and they are not allowed to join the airforce as far as i know.

The first link is for the video that is found also on the website on the second link (december18th.org)
I wonder however why it didnt work with you, it works fine here
The first few times I tried it, it didn´t work. Later, it worked. I signed and forwarded it to some friends.
Thank you for posting information about it.

Actually, from what I know, they are supposedly ´free to enlist´, but in reality they are never admitted to the army anyway. And another way they are discriminated is that people who do serve in the army get a lot of governemnt help for housing, education and other stuff... plus the government only invests in areas where only jews live..
