    Nah.

    Citizens have e always been held accountable for the acts and behaviour of their nation.

    For example, if a single IDF soldier had raped or murdered a Palestinian, and the IDF had a trial and punished them appropriately, then perhaps an Israeli is not accountable for that

    However when a country perpetuates a campaign of genocide, you cant really expect a free pass as a conscientious objector. The abuse of Palestinians is so deeply embedded in Israeli culture - soldiers sharing photos of the victims of their abuse is a celebrated daily occurrence.

    In Australia for example our indigenous first Australians were abused by European settlers. That was mostly before I was born, but my generation is still held to account.
