This is the voice of a former Israeli soldier, standing against the Israeli government’s occupation of Palestine. To hear his story, click here for a short, two-minute video.

All this week, the Israeli organization, “Breaking the Silence” will be releasing recent testimonies of Israeli soldiers talking about operations in the occupied Palestinian territories (i.e., East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza). In short videos, the former soldiers explain why they are choosing to break the silence.
