Israeli Oppression Of Palestine... Breaking The Silence!!!...

Hello there ATS...
We've heard it all so far...

Rockets...
Human Shields...
Terrorists...

Bombs...
Phosphorous...
War Crimes...
Civilian Deaths...

The list is endless on both sides of the argument in numerous threads daily for the last Month...
No one is changing anyone's mind, including my pro-Palestinian self...

So maybe it's time we read the stories of the Soldiers of the IDF from their Organisation Breaking The Silence


Here is one article of many on the website...

I remember asking myself: what do they think about all of this? What would I do if soldiers broke into my home? But I immediately repressed these questions and carried on with the mission. As time passed, fear turned into boredom, adrenaline stabilized, and my doubts about the extent of the operational logic and its justification would return to gnaw at me. But the next day there were already new operations. This was our daily routine, and as a result, the next time I didn’t really think about how the family whose home we entered felt. My personal red moral line blurred very quickly. Every time I would tell myself – this is still okay. But it’s in the nature of red lines to move along an imaginary scale. I wasn’t bothered when we destroyed entire homes during search operations, and when my squad accidentally shot an innocent woman, and we quickly buried the incident and moved on. Today I know that my ability to distinguish whether a particular action crosses the line, didn’t really exist back then.

So ATS...

You can try to justify and defend the IDF's actions...
But even former Soldiers are condemning them...

Break The Silence.
Deny Ignorance.

& Peace Unto You ATSers!!!

Although it's difficult for many to see beyond what they are fed by the MSM, in the U.K there are a few journalists who have previously supported Israeli action, now speaking out against them.

Of course the balance is still very much favoured towards Israel, but people are shocked and sickened by the images coming out of Palestine. Every time I see an Israeli official attempting to justify their action, it becomes less and less convincing and a number of people who have previously never commented on the state of affairs there are beginning to see Israel for what they really are. The bully boys, who take a sledge hammer to crack a nut.

If it continues after the agreed cease fire, how many houses in Gaza will be left standing for the IDF to search?

This is all one need to do, drag the truth kicking and screaming into the light.
The more the terrorist regime tries to suppress, the bigger it gets, it is only a matter of time.

Yes, I was actually very surprised to see even our (UK) new Foriegn Secretary Phillip Hammond come out and say sympathy is waining for Israel's cause...

It's not something we'd ever have heard from William Hague!!!


Peace Cobaltic!!!

Thanks, I definitely thought it was important to share this Organisation's campaign with ATS...
Maybe a new source of information that'll be harder for Zionist sympathisers to argue against!!!

Peace g1!!!

those traitors of Israel are surely connected to the infiltrators from Hamas and also anti -Semites...

a reply to: demus

These Soldiers served their conscription time...
They are more than entitled to speak about their time in the IDF...

So what makes them traitorous, and what have Hamas and Anti-Semites got to do with this???

Please speak of the topic at hand & don't attempt to derail it on page 1 please!!!


Peace demus!!!

a reply to: g146541

Thank you g1 pal, and apologies to demus, my friend...
My reading comprehension let me down this time


Peace to you both!!!

As you can see from my avatar I was at two different protests last week in London...
Not a drop of it reached the news, despite te fact we was right outside The BBC screaming "Shame On You!!!"...

Can't say I was surprised by the media blackout though!!!


Peace demus!!!

I am becoming a little afraid of this situation. Even being on the opposite side of the earth. Public perception of Israel is slipping dramatically, despite the shouts of support coming form government and MSM puppets. If too many western voters start expressing sympathy towards Palestinians, I would not find it too far fetched for Israel to orchestrate a false flag attack (or carry one out that is already prepared) in order to get them public support again. Israel has already proven their convictions are above and beyond murder as extortion. So how far? Where is Israel's moral red line?

Israel scares the *snip* out of me. What do you do with a person that will kill till they get their way as is proven and kill for payback? You can't beat them without stooping to their level and if you did you would always have to watch your back. They make me want to leave earth all together. Let them have it if they are willing to go to such lengths to get it. It's not worth it.

Peace demus!!!

There was a rally here in Vancouver B.C yesterday. It is getting traction so don't give up. Unfortunately I would be fired if I showed up to an anti-Israel anything and with a family to feed... I am glad there are people like you out their yelling loud enough for me.

a reply to: thesaneone

I was wearing a Keffiyeh not hiding my face...

Secondly I wasn't there to say "at least I showed my face"...
I was their for spiritual & vocal support!!!

I'm proud of everyone who showed up though, especially the Jewish community, what an amazing cheer they received!!!



Peace saneone!!!

I don't agree with Hamas, I'd probably be more inclined to side with Fatah...


So...

Any argument you make trying to portray Palestinians Hamas as innocent victims is moot.

...there, I fixed that for you!!!


Peace CZ!!!

That's one opinion. How many veterans have criticized the "war on terror?" What you can't ignore is facts and numbers. The facts IS that your beloved Palestine, and the terrorists they voted into power, Hamas, exists in part, to kill Jews. How can you explain Article 7 of the Hamas Charter?

" Article 7- Hamas Charter: The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: 'Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,' except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews."

Any argument you make trying to portray Palestinians as innocent victims is moot. They are just as much an aggressor as the Israelis. One bleeding-heart liberal ex-IDF members opinion does not mean crap. What we have here is a blatant act of aggression and antisemitism.

Interesting, how many anti Hamas protests have you been to or even organized?
