Law, Morality, and the IDF: A Conversation with Lt. Col. (Res.) Maurice Hirsch Ep 17
In this episode of Boots on the Ground, host Ari Kalker is joined by Lt. Col. (Res.) Maurice Hirsch, former Military Advocate General of Judea and Samaria, for a discussion on the ongoing scandal surrounding Israel’s Military Advocate General.
Together, they unpack what this controversy reveals about Israel’s military justice system, how it impacts public trust, and what true honesty and morality should look like within the ranks of the IDF.
From the tension between legal oversight and operational necessity to the broader question of how Israel defines ethical leadership in wartime, this is a conversation that goes beyond headlines, exploring the moral backbone of the world’s most scrutinized army.
