This is The Guardian.
Today, the lonely fight of two anti-war Israeli activists.
At the beginning, you're just full of rage, no matter what.
And what happened is that our society has just responded out of rage and desire for revenge that for months didn't even come close to be satisfied.
And as a society, we were blind to what we are inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza.
Yehuda Shal is the founder of a pioneering Israeli NGO called Breaking the Silence.
It campaigns against the occupation of Palestine,
including by publishing the testimony of Israeli soldiers,
revealing the brutal ways that that occupation is sustained.
And Mikhail Sfad is an Israeli lawyer.
He's brought hundreds of cases challenging the demolition of Palestinian homes,
the construction of new settlements, and pushing for investigations of alleged Israeli war crimes.
You know, since October 7th, there are no journalists that are allowed to enter the Gaza Strip.
No foreign journalists.
Israel has sealed the Strip completely.
So all of these policies, when you connect the dots,
show how the Israeli government is investing in silencing any opening that may produce criticism,
may produce assistance to grieving Palestinians.
In this moment,
with hundreds killed in Israeli bombings the past few days and the beginning of extensive ground operations in Gaza.
