There were soldiers who protested at the sight of the new "dogs," several brave ones even gave testimony to Breaking the Silence. But the procedure, which was once specifically forbidden by the High Court of Justice, has been adopted on a broad scope in the army. The next time that the public protests the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu ignores High Court rulings, we should remember that the army also brazenly ignores its rulings.
Through Breaking the Silence's organized tour, Vasquez and the other U.S. veterans heard from a range of perspectives – journalists, lawyers, nongovernmental organizations, Palestinian youth groups – that provided a deep dive into the history and realities of the Israeli occupation. "It was the most impactful 12 days of my life," the U.S. veteran sums up. "I learned so much and felt inspired meeting Israelis and Palestinians who care about ending the occupation."
“Every boundary” of military behavior, Avner Gvaryahu writes, “is destined to be redrawn in a military occupation, whose very existence relies on terrorizing a civilian population into submission.”
"There is no quick fix for Israel’s wrongdoings, since they are all symptoms of the same root cause: Israel’s absolute prioritization of “managing the conflict” and deferring any real solution, no matter how many civilians—Palestinian or Israeli—are harmed."
"We're on our way to the South Hebron Hills with our guide, Nadav Weiman. Once an Israeli army special forces sniper, today, Weiman is part of an organization called Breaking the Silence, made up of former soldiers speaking out against their country's occupation of the West Bank, home to 3 million Palestinians."
"He said he was at the checkpoint, so maybe he was held up," says Joel Carmel, an ex-Israeli soldier and peace activist, as he stands with a small group of journalists at the gate to Amro's house.
“What started as a small temporary closure spread and spread, and as soon as there was an excuse, it became a permanent closure,” said Nadav Weiman, senior director of the Israeli human rights group Breaking the Silence.
"On August 22, 2005, I was among the last soldiers to close the gate as we left Netzarim settlement in the Gaza Strip, for the last time. We had served there for a year and a half of what could only be described as hell."
"We are the soldiers who served the Israeli concept of “managing the conflict” and the endless rounds-of-fighting policy."
