Breaking the Silence

And all of that has been completely and utterly removed.

Just like, you know, Breaking the Silence, which is the way I refer to them as a Nazi-like organization that does the exact opposite of the Breaking of Silence.

You know, they have taken thousands of different testimonies from Israeli soldiers over the years, but they have never published a single testimony in their entire existence.

What they published are self-redacted stories.

I think that the psychology of it is really... important and interesting to discuss, but we cannot do that at the expense of our obligation to the victims.

And certainly, us, the settler society, cannot decide that we can do that at the expense of our obligation to the victims.

Imagine, again, going back to Germany, if there was a German organization akin to Breaking the Silence, a German organization that was collecting thousands of testimonies from Nazi criminals during or after the war, and like Breaking the Silence saying, We will not publish any facts.

We are all about protecting our sources.

that were murdered.

Members of Breaking the Silence were killed.

Friends of ours in the peace camp were abducted, some killed, some released.

And I think that this also shook many of us to our core just in the basic sense, that feeling when you wake up the morning of October 7th and you understand viscerally, deeply, the sense of fear.
