As one of the Israeli soldiers who spoke, we would like to correct misinformation in the viewpoint "Humanizing the Inhumane"(2/27/2013).

I never called the pregnant woman who came to a checkpoint in an ambulance a terrorist. We said that terrorists use women and children and we're not always certain that the women are even aware that they are being used. The article also omitted that I said that the ambulance, which was loaded with weapons, tried to run us over before we shot the wheels.

Samia Ayyash also states that no rocket that ever landed in Tel Aviv caused one civilian death. She neglects to point out the thousands of rockets that fell and continue to reign down on Israel's Southern communities from Gaza that maim and kill civilians indiscriminately, forcing Israel to enter Gaza to battle Hamas and other terrorist groups.

StandWithUs 'Israeli Soldiers Stories' is designed to foster dialogue about the conflict and to help correct this kind of erroneous information. Ari and I were honored to speak at the University and to be so warmly received.
