No situation is ever black and white. Everyone suffers when there is violence and a lack of compassion for the other. Shaul explains why he and his colleagues have dedicated themselves to this project, why he believes it is as necessary today as when he first spoke out a decade ago about his own experience as a soldier in Hebron. In Israeli politics today the occupation is absent. Its not an issue for the public. It has become normal – not second nature; the occupation has become part of our nature.

Some of those attending try to usher him away while others try to engage him in conversation. A journalist asks Shaul if the man is pro-army. Im pro-army, Shaul answers immediately.
