Nation, Family Divided in Standoff Over Gaza
(Boston Globe) Dan Ephron - Shaul Ariel and his son met Tuesday on opposite sides. The father joined protesters from all over the country trying to march into the Gaza Strip to prevent next month's evacuation of Jewish settlers. The son, a captain in the Israeli Army, was part of a huge force sent to block their advance. Ariel described his family as politically diverse. His wife supports the Gaza withdrawal, while one of his daughters was among the protesters.
