But I think that above all, I changed, not Israel changed.
And I changed due to only one thing.
It's not like one day I was walking in the dark forest and all of a sudden God revealed to me and told me, you have to think about the Palestinian people, no?
In a very incidental way, back in the late 80s, I started to travel as a journalist to the West Bank and to Gaza.
Very innocent.
I was a good boy in Tel Aviv.
I was working with Shimon Peres for four years.
I was serving the Israeli army in the army radio station.
So I was not brought up as a dissident.
And I started to travel to the West Bank and Gaza.
And very soon I realized that the big drama of Israel is there.
This is what defines Israel, the occupation.
There is no one to tell it, or almost no one to tell it, and that I know nothing about it, me personally.
I was in the darkness.
And then I started gradually to cover the occupation until I made it the mission of my life.
And then gradually my views became more and more radical.
The more I saw, the more radical I became.
I believe that almost every Israeli who would witness what I witnessed in the last 40 years that I'm working for Aretz, I believe that it's part of the Israelis who would share the same views like me.
So the shift was in me, not in the country.
The country is doing the same, is running the same principles from 48 until today.
