This week on "Mehdi Unfiltered," two Israeli military veterans reveal how serving in the 2014 Gaza War fundamentally changed their views on Israel's violent approach to the Palestinians.
After serving in Israel's war against Gaza in 2014 and seeing their country's military operations up close, Benzion Sanders and Ariel Bernstein, two former special forces soldiers, turned into anti-occupation activists and have been speaking out ever since against their country's brutal oppression of Palestinians.
They joined Mehdi Unfiltered to discuss what they learned from their own Gaza experience and how they view the current Israeli campaign in Rafah -- and the right-wing trends in Israeli society.
"Destroying a whole neighborhood and all the building that we've seen and been inside for no apparent clear reason, seems to me -- I don't know if it's a war crime or not, according to international law -- but it seems like a crime. It seems like something that I am ashamed that I took part in," Bernstein told Mehdi.
