David: Israelis are struggling with the moral ambigiuty just as much as we as outsiders
David is a Harvard undergrad raised in an American Reform Jewish tradition of what he calls “cautious Zionism.” Coincidentally he’s the age of soldiers who serve at checkpoints and elsewhere in the occupation. Keep that in mind as he reflects on what the exhibit has shown him:
“Particularly I thought the quotations from soldiers talking about the way participating in the occupation sort of was a constant source for them to have to recheck their own humanity and morality and it added a dimension to how Israel and its army are carrying out the occupation. Particularly how young people are aware of their own compromised position…They are struggling with the moral ambigiuty just as much as we as outside observers struggle with those issues too.”
