Our reign of terror in Hebron, by the Israeli army

category galway | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Sunday April 20, 2008 13:14author by TD - Free Palestine Campaign Report this post to the editors

"In shocking testimonies that reveal abductions, beatings and torture, Israeli soldiers confess the horror they have visited on Hebron" (IoS)

In today's UK, Independent on Sunday, Donald Macintyre illuminates the routine brutality, thievery and knavery of the Israeli Occupation Forces in the West Bank city of Hebron, but, thanks to the lord bejaysus, some of them have conscience and regrets and speak out: "In a confessional interview with the Israeli Channel Two investigative programme Uvda, Gigi, who had previously been in many ways a model soldier, talked of "losing the human condition" in Hebron. Asked what he meant, he replied: "To lose the human condition is to become an animal"

Tomorrow, Breaking the Silence (founded by ex-soldiers, the majority of whom served in IOFcombat units in Hebron) will publish the disturbing testimonies of 39 Israelis who served in the army in Hebron between 2005 and 2007 http://www.breakingthesilence.org.il/index_e.asp

Breaking the Silence has collected some 500 testimonies from former soldiers who served in the West Bank and Gaza and in its introduction says: "The soldiers' determination to fulfil their mission yields tragic results: the proper-normative becomes despicable, the inconceivable becomes routine ... [The] testimonies are to illustrate the manner in which they are swept into the brutal reality reigning on the ground, a reality whereby the lives of many thousands of Palestinian families are at the questionable mercy of youths. Hebron turns a focused, flagrant lens at the reality to which Israel's young representatives are constantly sent."
