"The soldiers cannot be blamed when we are the ones who put them in this surreal daily routine in the West Bank.""I am not a politician," exclaimed Kotler tearfully, as she repeated what she had said before - that her statement was specifically referring to the five soldiers and not the entire IDF.Alon Einhorn contributed to this report.
