there ARE those few who refuse to turn a blind eye to the inhumanity and the criminal acts of their peers; despite the heavy price and chagrin they will inevitably face as a consequence. there are those who perpetuate, those who witness and disapprove...but say nothing for their own sake, and those who refuse to withhold the truth...driven by moral integrity and human outrage!
it`s those of the latter, from ANY nationality, ethnicity, religious belief, or not, who are truly God`s "children"! and it is THEY who will bring world peace someday.
meanwhile, these guys and the many others like them in the idf, past and present, should be the pride of the israelis, and ALL jews...yet by many they`re most likely to be loathed, disdained, and defamed!
yet they are REAL "heroes"...because they knew what they`d face.
