An Ephiphany in Gaza.

 The one where the head of Israel's military realizes his troops are using unauthorized force to destroy Hamas... because to their eyes, everyone who moves and breathes in the territories is Hamas:

The chief of staff of the military, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, spoke to soldiers in Gaza on Sunday and reminded them of the rules.

He urged them to “take two seconds” when they see unarmed people without shirts — a way of showing that they do not have explosives — and their hands held up. 

“And I want to tell you something just as important, and if it’s two Gazans with a white flag coming out to surrender, why would we shoot at them? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. That’s not the I.D.F,” he said.
