Hundreds of people came to see me at the reception window every day. Multiply that by weeks, months – and yet, I can’t remember a single face. They were a foreign mass – faceless, indistinguishable – whereas I, belying the euphemistic pretenses of the term “Civil Administration,” was part of a mechanism of military control.
Former Israeli soldiers told an anti-occupation NGO that the Civil Administration fosters give-and-take relationships with certain Palestinians, dubbed 'interlocutors'
Soldiers who served in the Civil Administration also told left-wing human rights monitor Breaking the Silence that West Bank settlers are directly involved in shaping its policy
Newly published military testimonies highlight the bureaucratic power of Cogat’s ‘permit regime’ over Palestinians
Breaking The Silence attracts increasing numbers of diaspora Jews onto its 'occupation tour' in West Bank cities like Hebron. Jewish News joined one.
Israeli soldiers serving in the Civil Administration in the West Bank would arbitrarily deny Palestinians permits to enter Israel, according to a Monday report by an NGO that cited former troops.
The humiliation factor... can be read within as well as between the lines of the booklet: in the broken Arabic spoken by the soldiers in the reception windows for Palestinians, the contemptuous treatment even of those as old as their grandfathers and grandmothers, in allocating water to settlers at the expense of a Palestinian community, in the wholesale revocation of movement permits. Humiliation of the other is an inseparable part of the bureaucratic violence.
"We must not pay for our rights with the rights of another people. Because if we do, then we are not fighting for rights, but for privileges, and they too will be only temporary, devoured from the inside, a celebration of pseudo-democracy on the edge of the abyss."
