In March 2009 Israel stood accused of committing war crimes against innocent civilians during the brutal assault on Gaza, known as `Operation Cast Lead'.
Despite worldwide condemnation of the Israeli government and their forces at that time, Ehud Barak, the defence Minister made the following statement: "I have no doubt in my heart that the Israeli Defence Force is the most moral army in the World". This book contains some 145 testimonies taken from more than 700 interviews from commanders, officers as well as rank and file and both men and women. It reveals a defence force that is far from moral. The documented confessions reveal a military that is brutal, inhuman and hell bent on making the lives of the Palestinian population intolerable. Israel has every right to defend itself against attacks from Palestinian resistance groups but their policy of metering out `collective punishment' has resulted in the domination and dehumanisation of the Palestinian population.
The bravery and honesty of Israelis who have been prepared to speak out against the occupation should not be underestimated in terms of the effect it has on world opinion.
It would be wrong to condemn Israel out of hand - both sides are not blameless, and both sides believe that they are justified in their objectives and actions. If history repeats itself, the current peace talks are unlikely to resolve the situation. World opinion is gathering in support of the Palestinian cause and this collective pressure may be something that the politicians are eventually unable to ignore. The contents of this book have added another stain on Israel's reputation. One can only hope that international pressure will one day result in the recognition of a Palestinian state and liberty for its people, and also that the unique state of Israel will at last find harmony and be free from conflict.
There are Israeli apologists that claim that not all the reports are first hand observations. Some are not. But the descriptions of the institutionalized violence toward the Palestinians is told so many times in so many ways that especially coming from within the Israeli military, it must be true and most likely just the tip of the iceberg.
In the words of Israel's own military, it is a state sponsor of terrorism that is virtually unaccountable for its actions.
That said, the US seems to be following closely the Israeli model, which is in itself a very tragic issue about which more and more is being written every day.
This is an important book that opens a window into the hearts and minds of the Israeli military in the words of the military itself.
It shows a lot of the reasons why unless there is regime change in Israel, there will never be peace in the region.
After reading this book, you will ask yourself - "how can this go on?" "How can these politics have a public mandate?".
It is difficult to review this book as it is so very overwhelming and I feel I lack the words to actually emphasize the importance of it.
I sympathize deeply with the Palestinians who try to live their lives and I sympathize deeply with the Israeli soldiers who realize that what they are forced to do is such a grave breach of human rights.
