OneJerusalem.org Interviews Reservists Protesting the Government

OneJerusalem.org has exclusive interviews with a couple of reservists who fought in Lebanon. The first is with Elisha Dickman, a reserve sergeant in the paratroopers, and the second is with Boaz Torfstein, who in his normal life is a Jewish Agency employee. Dickman is quite willing to give specific examples of incompetence, while Torfstein is probably more properly circumspect in describing the battlefield. You should also pay attention to Torfstein's genuine pain about losing colleagues to the IDF's ultra-humane battlefield tactics. Someone should give Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch the memo.
Anyway, long story short: morale started off high, but the government screwed up by not letting the IDF. Quite well and good. Although what worries us about both interviews is that there's a very real element of kol mamzer melech in these interviews. No, we're not going to explain - go ask a friend. Oh - and students criticizing this government for being too leftwing - give us a break.
That said, OneJerusalem.org has been doing a fantastic of a job lately getting a hold of really interesting interviews. If they're not on your RSS feeder, they should be.
