Episode Notes:

Recent cases of Israeli soldiers siding with settlers who are attacking Palestinians in the West Bank have led to intensifying criticism abroad and within Israel. In "The Blood Price: In Israel, Military Sacrifice Is Becoming Political Power," Guy Ziv wrote about how right-wing religious Zionists have gained numbers and influence in the military, supported by government leaders. Kerry and Guy discuss the historical trends that led to this moment and the debate within Israel over key aspects of military ethics.
