Tonight ABC World News did a piece on the revelations in Haaretz that Israeli soldiers deliberately killed Palestinian civilians during the assault on Gaza, apparently with rabbinical encouragement. The piece featured a member of Shovrimshtika.org– Breaking the Silence— the great Israeli veterans' group that changed my life. This is a landmark moment because never before has Breaking the Silence been on network TV, that I can remember. Also because the Israelis came across as the Korean army or something, some tinpot army. When IDF chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi says we have the most moral army in the world, he seemed faintly thuggish. So this is the paradigm shift– occuring in the nation's living rooms at last.
