...young men in Avigail weren't always outside the mainstream. Most were in combat units of the Israeli army during their compulsory military service. As they recount their army days, they tell of operations carried out for Israel's special forces, Egoz and Shimshon, units with names that inspire admiration among almost all Israelis. Israel's politics--not they--have moved away from the ideals they fought for, the men argue. "We're not interested in protesting Sharon's plan," says Yair. "We're going to sabotage...
