Quoting an anonymous reservist who participated in the slaughter in Gaza and Lebanon:
"This thing won't be erased in the next hundred years. No matter how much Israel tries to hide, to blur - the destruction in Gaza will define our lives and our children's lives from now on. A testimony to unbridled rampage."
"It's clear to all of us, from the command center operator to the last fighter, that the political echelon doesn't know how the hell to continue. There are no targets to advance to, no political ability to retreat."
Most significantly, it’s about accountability:
"Where is the line between understanding the 'complexity' and blind obedience? When have you earned the right to refuse to be part of a war crime? That's less interesting. What's more interesting is when will the Israeli mainstream wake up, when will a leader arise who will explain to citizens what a mess we're in, and who will be the first kippah-wearer to call him a traitor. Because before The Hague, before the American universities, before the condemnation at the Security Council, this is first and foremost our internal matter. And that of two million Palestinians."
Also about the U.S. who makes it possible for Israel to continue and even intensify these wars.
"The ability to fight this way is made possible thanks to the stream of munitions that the #IDF receives from the United States, and the need to control the area with minimal forces stretched to the limit. This is true for both #Gaza and #Lebanon. The main difference between Lebanon and the yellow hell that surrounds us is the civilians. Unlike the villages of South Lebanon, the civilians are still here. Dragging themselves from one combat zone to another, carrying packed backpacks, jerry cans."
