Breaking the silence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Breaking The Silence ("Shovrim Shtika" in Hebrew) is an Israeli movement in which soldiers and veterans talk about their military service within the disputed territories. They discuss incidents they felt were atrocities committed by the Israeli military that went unnoticed in Israeli and other Western media.
