I am not sure of the exact meaning of the word "rebel" here. My intuition tells me that it would mean "Overthrow the government!" If so, it seems to be too strong ...

What does "rebel" mean here?

I don’t understand the passivity of my fellow countrymen and countrywomen. Why are you not more angry? Why are you allowing this government to orchestrate the deaths of your citizens, your families, your neighbours? This is a mass delusion. Resist. Resist. Rebel.
 
No, that's too strong an interpretation. He's just urging people to rebel against whatever particular government action he's referring to.
 
Look at verb definitions 1a and 2 a and b here.
