New Profile

New Profile (פרופיל חדש‎) is a movement for transforming Israeli society into a "civilian" one ("חברה אזרחית‎" – a term recently coined by parts of the Israeli left wing to highlight their view of the present society as "recruited" or "militarized"). New Profile is an associated organization of War Resisters' International (WRI). It is a voluntary organization that acts against the compulsory law of military enlistment and supports people who refuse to enlist in the Israel Defense Forces. New Profile is a feminist organization and most of its activists are women. It was founded in 1998, among others by Rela Mazali.^[1]
