Transformation

In a moving story, Joshua Tartakovsky describes his transformation from being an Israeli soldier who thinks he is protecting Israel from terrorists to what he calls becoming pro-Palestinian and supporting one state where everyone– Jew and non-Jew– is treated the same: http://joshuatartakovsky.com/how-i-changed-from-being-a-former-israeli-soldier-to-pro-palestinian/#.XwKG3pNKhDM. The full article is long and well worth reading.
