Through Israel's Eyes, War is All about Defense
(Daily Northwestern - Evanston, Illinois) Kristina Francisco - Sophomore David Cohen was once an Israeli soldier. He left Northwestern after freshman year to go back to Israel to serve a two-year stint in the West Bank. Cohen says: "Israel offered everything in 2000 (after Camp David II) - 100 percent of the land and said, 'Here's a state' - and they rejected it like in 1948 when the UN said, 'Here's a state.'" Cohen says he knows for a fact that Israel spends massive amounts of time making sure civilians aren't killed, unlike the tactics of Palestinian suicide bombers.
