Burning Conscience: Israeli Soldiers Speak Out
BackA searing interview with Avichai Sharon and Noam Chayut, both veterans of the Israeli Defense Forces and members of Breaking the Silence. Sharon and Chayut served during the second intifada, an on-going bloodbath that has claimed the lives of over three thousand Palestinians and nine-hundred-fifty Israelis. After thorough introspection, these young men have chosen to speak out about their experiences as self-described "brutal occupiers of a disputed land." Producer: Sat Gwin

Israelis are no better than the followers of Al-queda. Both are terrorists. One day the world will see just what they created when giving Palestian lands to the Israelis. I support fully the struggle of the Palestinians. Hitler wanted racial purity, he was stopped. But the people who suffered at the hands of the nazis are now practising those same ethics of nazism

Israeli Zionism = German Nazism = American KKK
All 3 are racist political ideologies that seek to create a pure race state.

These soldiers are liars! They are soft faggots that should have never served because they are misleading. They are frustrated because they were too femanine to serve in the army and now tunnel their frustration to the wrong channel! why do you guys think that Palestinians can't sleep 2 a.m? I personally was a part of a squad that found a terrorist(murdered 152 israelis) hiding in a so called "innocent family's" house! It is just innevitable and the situation is much more complex then that!!

You clearly have no idea nor proof to back up your arguement, other than you disagree with their views. And non-surprisingly, you resort to name calling to try to justify your post. Your behaviour is really childish and not only that but without foundation and prejuidiced, clearly.

Believe me you little ignorance girl i have a perfecty good idea and poofs to sustain my claim. You have got no idea what is going on the middle east. I sereved 3 years in the army and found many many(many!!!) families that looked innocent but hid terrorists and weapons in their own homes!!! And the father got the little kid in the family to open us the door and to show us his "innocent little face" so we would believe him and go.

These soldiers talk nothing about the real cases of murderous terrorists bomb themselves in the middle of Tel Aviv just because we didn't check carefully enough or just because we thought of someone to be "poor and innocent"!

Respect to these guys, takes a lot of balls to do what theyre doing.

This is incredible. These soldiers have confessed to the crimes commited by Israel which most sensible peple knew already. What is surprising is that inspite of all this oppression of the Palestinians by Israel, people are shocked & horrified when Palestinians retaliate. Of course they would want to kill Israelis for murdering them, destroying their homes, taking everything from them . But the west then refers to those who have the balls to resist as terrorists.
