This is not the perspective of fringe peace activists. The signatories are officers and soldiers with impeccable records of service in frontline combat units. Most are in their 20s and 30s, soldiers the Israeli army views as its next generation of commanders.

...nation. "There is nothing false or complicated about the public response to her death," said Blair. "It's the simplest of equations. She loved her country and her country loved her."
