We woke up with the intention to demonstrate tonight, to be with the families of the hostages still in Gaza.  It is not a simple task – the overwhelming emotion that each person there feels is something I doubt if any normal human being should have to bear.  Even being near them is painful, and yet absolutely necessary – not because it will help, but because we need to feel that we are human beings who cannot tolerate the situation this country is in.

There were times when I felt the only person with a soul in the government was Danny Hagari, who explained every evening what was happening in Gaza, and in the north.  And now he has quit, because he was not promoted as he should have been, and he has no future in the army.  

And suddenly I felt there was no one to speak to at all.
