'He is not a lone voice'

To the editor:

I am a member of Brit Tzedek. I heard Yonatan Shapira's speak at a small gathering the evening before his talk at the MJCC.

I believe that the essence of Shapira's message is that he is no longer willing to contribute to the cycle of violence.

He is not a lone voice of dissent in Israel. Many leading intellectuals and writers including Amos Oz, David Grossman and Aharon Shabtai have reached the same conclusion.
