True Israeli Courage

Here is a link to a short article on Israel intelligence officers speaking out against IDF tactics employed against the Palestinian people.  This comes from Speaking Truth to Pulpits contributor Robert Howell (see below for Robert's Aug. 7 20014 post).

Thank you for passing this article on, Robert.  It's significant, in part, because there have been great numbers of regular army Rufusniks, while  intelligence officers rarely criticize Jerusalem. Why we have to demonstrate over and over again that people can love Israel and loathe its policies is beyond me, but we must.

On three separate trips to Israel, I stayed in the home of a wonderful family with two sons who were Israeli intelligence officers.  I had and still have great affection for both of them while a hated what they did when they snuck around the West Bank.  Unfortunately, I've lost contact with my host family.  I pray that Gilad and Ofer have found that part of their soul they buried in the sand and are now speaking out against the very tactics they employed.      

Shalom/Salem,
