Haaretz: Israelis prefer those who lie to them rather than those who confront them with the painful truth. Writer Yossi Klein said in his article in Haaretz newspaper that the fighters in the Israeli army are neither absent from reality nor stupid.

He added that these fighters see where the money is going, the inefficiency in dealing with the displaced Israelis, and the indifference towards the detainees. The writer concluded - sarcastically - that the brilliant minds who do not even know how to care for 100,000 Israeli refugees will “know” how to “transport” 1.4 million refugees from Gaza.
