Atzmon began his IDF training in June 1981, and succeeded in wangling a position within the Israel Defense Forces Orchestra. He explains this as a reflection of the fact that '’(p)laying scales at the speed of light seemed to me far more important than killing Arabs in the name of Jewish suffering.’ Three weeks before the end of his tour of duty, in the wake of the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, his troupe visited Israel's Ansar internment camp in the south of that country. Retrospectively, this was, he writes, a 'life-changing' experience, coming into direct contact with the conditions of captured Palestinians, some locked in solitary confinement in what he took at first to be 1 metre square concrete boxes for guard dogs.
