Breaking The Silence
Breaking The Silence collected anonymous testimonies of Israeli soldiers most of which are from 20 years ago during the violence of the 2nd Intifada, they report on alleged and most often unsubstantiated misdemeanors.
The allegations are collected over many years and therefore actually don’t amount to very many annual claims on average at all. No “systemic” policies exist in the IDF to abuse Palestinians.
It’s founder Issacharoff himself is under suspicion of fabricating his own testimony to have beaten a Palestinian man after his fellow IDF soldiers and commanders publicly challenged his claims. As of now, his account remains unsubstantiated and, like so many Breaking the Silence testimonies cannot be regarded as the truth.
As is par for the course with Breaking the Silence, there is no way of probing the veracity of unidentified soldier’s accounts nor are there any corroborating testimonies from any of the multiple other soldiers who were on the scene.
Breaking the Silence is one of a handful of Israel-based NGOs that are dedicated to demonizing and delegitimizing the Jewish state using any and all means available, if they wanted to correct IDF behaviour for the relatively few cases they alleged happened that could be done with the supreme court or the IDF, instead they use their instantiated stories to create hatred for Israel.
