Breaking the Silence
Breaking the Silence" — Breaking
the Silence is an NGO of young soldiers from the
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) created upon their return from three
years in Occupied
Hebron. Avichay Sharon and Noam Chayut will make a short slide
presentation and
discuss life in the Occupied Territories.
"We feel that service in the occupied
territories and the incidents that we faced have
distorted and harmed the moral values on which we grew up. This
reality has stayed with
us and will not go away. We shouldn't forget what we ourselves
did and what we
witnessed. We decided to break the silence."*
