text:  The story of one American-Israeli soldier involved in the war in Gaza. An example of how this conflict is distant from us and also very, very close to us. Also an example of how to cover a difficult story. Our colleagues have gone back to the same source again and again and again. It's never a drive-by. It's sustained attention to the story, which is what NPR is doing. We have many perspectives on this story, and you can find many more of them by going to the web, npr.org slash Mideast.
