Breaking the Silence and its slanderers
There are two sides to
the IDF’s conduct during the Gaza war, but only Breaking the Silence’s
soldiers are revealing the dark one.
"Back
in the days when I was a soldier walking the alleyways of Nablus and
Rafah in the early 1990s, before the Oslo Accord and the pullback from
the Palestinian cities, there was no Breaking the Silence. No outlet to
report the daily cruelties inflicted by our company on the local
civilians with the full knowledge and sometimes encouragement of our
officers."
Ha'aretz writer Anshel Pfeffer writes about his
experience as a soldier serving during the first Intifada, about the
last war in Gaza, and about Breaking The Silence's role in our society.
