@fossilesque I met a few Israeli soldiers who were part of the "refusenik" movement when I was active with Amnesty. The group changed its name to "Breaking the silent".
I heard similar testimonies from the soldiers who served during the second Intifada and had traumatic memories about their treatment of Palestinians, specially children.
I sill in touch with one of them who lives in Canada.
He spoke about it like heartbreak and I knew it was real. I hope yours that got out find the good path and kindness.
