There are has been an endless road to dissillusionment and enlightment from my original days of Zionism. The Wall, the invasion of Gaza, the incarceration of thousand of Palestinians including children, the night raids against those practising non-violent resistance, the blind eye to the destruction of olive trees by Israeli settlers..... the spraying of high velocity water guns on Gazan fishermen... Israel has indeed shown itself to be absolutely brutal and arrogant and a rogue state not caring to comply with international law. But my identity as a Jew is strengthened because I know that this path of criticism is joining voice with many other Jews: The shministim, the refuseniks, who refuse to serve in the army.
