(Daily Titan-Cal State Fullerton) Natalie Bonilla - On Wednesday, Orit and Jonathan, two Israel Defense Force soldiers, shared some of their life-changing experiences in the Israeli army with a group of Cal State Fullerton students. Jonathan, an American citizen, served as an infantry officer for five years. Orit, a medic, was called on to treat a captured Arab prisoner, Halel Jaradat, who had sent his sister Hanadi to blow herself up in a restaurant in Haifa in 2003, killing 21 people. "I was trained not to discriminate against race, nationality or moral standards," Orit said. "I was trying to give him medical aid merely according to the wounds and medical needs, nothing else; I knew I had to treat him."
