"It's worth following ... the brave voices of people like Breaking the Silence, who speak for former [IDF] reservists who speak out and give testimony to what they saw and what they were required to do. Whether in the detention centres or on the field ... in the war zones."

There's another one Combatants for Peace which does a great job. The Haaretz newspaper is doing a great job of reporting what's actually happening. And there is a lot of opposition in Israel to what is happening, very large marches of people.
But yes, this will be a very, very scarred country after this has happened. There's been a number of Gaza wars before, but this is the longest and most horrific.'

Crucially important point there by Clark. Claiming the genocide in Gaza began in Oct 2023 is like claiming WW2 began when Britain declared war on Germany. As if all the preceding aggression by Likud and the Nazis respectively never happened.

Coda: no government or company that's been involved in arming Likud and the IDF should be allowed to profit from the rebuilding of Gaza. If international diplomacy can't prevent such perverse incentives, social movements need to figure out how to do it.
