I followed the news about what was going on in Gaza last December, rather closely. And it seemed to me that the Israeli army was using far more force and violence than would have been necessary to counter Hamas rockets. And the number of civilians killed, just makes me shudder. I'm glad some brave Israeli soldiers are standing up against this. Finally.
