"So yes, as an Israeli citizen, I stand behind our right and obligation to defend ourselves. Yet rather than defending itself in recent weeks, Israel has primarily been defending its military control over the Gaza Strip." (Avner Gvaryahu, executive director of Breaking the Silence) ~ Hundreds of people decided to arrive one Friday to hear us break the silence on Gaza. In the face of a government that calls the soldiers it sent to the occupied territories "traitors," and demands us to remain silent in despair - as talking about the occupation is forbidden - hundreds of Israelis, public figures, artists, and activists, chose to take to the streets to break the silence and listen to soldiers who served in Gaza. "Today, talking about the occupation is an active act of resistance, and a conversation with a silence breaker is an ultimate act of resistance. Apathy is our true enemy. Don't let it win," said Avner in his speech at the event. And so, through one act of resistance at a time, we'll even win.

Watch Nadav Weiman, a former combat soldier in the Nahal reconnaissance platoon’s sniper team, speak about firing at unarmed Palestinian civilians, and explain why the political echelon must take responsibility for what they sent us to do in the territories: "The IDF's open fire regulations when I was a sniper were means, intention, and ability. Then in [Operation] 'Protective Edge' after we threw fliers - everyone could be shot at. And today we see that open fire regulations are [applied to] unarmed demonstrators."

The public's trust in the State Attorney's Office must be in tune with its performances. The investigation of Dean Issacharoff and branding him as a liar, undermines this trust.
