What your analysis of the current conflict? Do you think it is necessary?
The current conflict was not necessary at all. The Israeli government had several opportunities to ease the tension vis-à-vis Hamas - although a final agreement is probably unattainable now. Since the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and the precarious situation of Bashar al-Assad in Syria - the two main patrons of Hamas - the movement was severely weakened. So weakened that he agreed to work with Fatah in a national unity government by making major concessions (including, for example, giving the mandate to Mahmoud Abbas to continue the talks with Israel). Instead of seizing the opportunity to moderate Hamas while strengthening the supporters of peace among the members of the Palestinian leadership, Israel has done the opposite, and pulled out of the peace process. And this is not the first time Israel does so.
But more generally, Hamas presented itself as a reliable group, which has met all previous cease-fire. Such an agreement has been signed a few days after the outbreak of the conflict - but it could take only being completed by a diplomatic process with Abbas, Netanyahu, however, that fled like the plague. Although the Palestinian regime is not a democracy, the survival of the Palestinian leadership depends on public opinion: when the people will realize that openness to Israel pays, it will turn back to Hamas. As long as there is no horizon, they rallied behind Hamas. It's as simple as that.
What you have a problem today in the act of serving in the IDF, and especially to go to Gaza?
This is mainly to give my name to his brutal actions, as I tried to explain, could have been easily avoided. What bothers me is the fact that the only Israeli policy vis-à-vis Gaza back to hit them every two years, without giving them any alternative. The death of hundreds of innocent people is horrible, especially when it can be avoided.  
Do you consider your work primarily as a political act?
No, first of all it is a moral act, but it can not be detached from its political context. I am not a pacifist - I think that wars are sometimes necessary. But wars meant to compensate negligent policy at the expense of innocent people are immoral.  
Do you recognize yourself in the movement ofrefuseniks , you're the first to testify during the Israeli offensive "border protection"?
I am not part of any movement of refuseniks . This is a personal act.
What action do you see the conflict? Do you think it can settle over time?
I have no idea. I thought Hamas since Israel would be pressed to terminate, but this analysis was contradicted continuously for 18 days now. However, whatever the end without progress on the diplomatic front, there will very quickly to another war. It is also ineffective in the long term of this military campaign that I oppose.  
How do you analyze the results of the Palestinian victims, more than 600 at this time, 80% of civilians, but also 28 Israeli soldiers and three civilians?
Obviously, this is an asymmetric conflict. Israel is equipped with advanced means of protection and aggression, which the Palestinians do not have. Hamas is a cynical and extremist group who prefers to fight for the safety of its population; they look at the many victims as a sacrifice, and the dead soldiers as a victory. It is unfortunate that Israel finally gives them what they want. 
How do you plan your return? What risks do you incur?
The army is notoriously unpredictable. On the one hand, I could be tried and sentenced to imprisonment. But I was told unofficially the army wants to give the least possible publicity to the refuseniks , especially the extent to which this phenomenon. She may prefer to do nothing.
