Israeli soldiers describe witnessing mass casualties and horrific scenes as they walk through houses and communities in Gaza. Babies with their heads cut off, families gunned down in their beds, and destroyed homes with grenades and booby traps pose dangers to the soldiers. The soldiers, many of them reserves, left their own families behind to face this unimaginable horror. The area is also littered with the bodies of terrorists who committed violent acts against innocent civilians. Despite the difficult and dangerous situation, the soldiers remain determined to eliminate every terrorist in the area. The soldiers want to show the press and the world the reality of what is happening on the ground.

A Hamas commander in the West Bank recruits young fighters, justifying violence as reclaiming their land from Israel. Despite casualties, he believes in armed struggle. An Israeli negotiator warns that attacking Hamas only strengthens them, suggesting peace and sharing the land as a solution. The cycle of violence will end when Israelis leave, but Palestinians also deserve freedom and rights for a new beginning.

Speaker 1 reflects on the haunting aspects of their time as a soldier, specifically the routine control exerted over Palestinians. They describe how Palestinians live in constant uncertainty, not knowing if soldiers will invade their homes or if they can go about their daily lives. The goal is to break down the Palestinian population, asserting dominance and humiliation. The speaker mentions segregated roads, settlements, military activity, home invasions, patrols, and digital surveillance as means of control. They emphasize that Hebron showcases all these elements in a short walk. Speaker 0 acknowledges witnessing all of it.

Speaker 0, an IDF soldier from Israel, is asked about the bombings in Gaza and the killing of children. The soldier admits to bombing Gaza in response to their attacks but claims ignorance about the reasons behind the initial bombings. The conversation then shifts to the history of Palestine and Israel, with the soldier acknowledging that Palestine existed before 1948 but asserting that it is now occupied by Israel. The soldier denies being Islamic and states that he doesn't know if innocent Palestinians are killed. The transcript abruptly ends.

Jewish settlers in Kavon enjoy the same rights as those in Jerusalem, while Palestinians live under Israeli military rule. The speaker acknowledges the power imbalance, describing how they can take over Palestinian homes, arrest residents, and restrict their movement. Realizing the injustice early on, the speaker no longer felt like they were protecting or helping anyone. Instead, they felt like a terrorist, tasked with instilling fear in the hearts of Palestinians. This was their mission, and they carried it out in Chavon.

In Hebron, there is a unique situation where 850 Israeli settlers live among 180,000 Palestinians. To maintain control, 650 combat soldiers patrol the city. Their goal is to make their presence felt, so they conduct nightly patrols, breaking into random houses and waking up families. They search the premises and then move on to the next house, repeating this process throughout their 8-hour shift. This has been happening since the start of the Second Intifada in September 2000, with the aim of creating a constant sense of military presence and the feeling of being chased among the Palestinian population.

Jewish settlers in Kavon enjoy the same rights as those in Jerusalem, while Palestinians live under Israeli military rule. The speaker acknowledges the power imbalance, describing how they can take over Palestinian homes, arrest residents, and restrict their movement. This realization shattered their belief in being on the "good" side, as they felt like they were terrorizing people. They began to question the narrative they had been taught and saw themselves as the ones instilling fear.

Israeli soldier is asked how many Palestinians he has killed, to which he responds with 20. The soldier claims all in Gaza are Hamas, including children. The conversation questions the soldier on the use of a gun in the killings.

Living in Jerusalem, I realized that Palestinians living next to me were under my military rule. I had the power to do whatever I wanted with them, like using their homes as temporary bases or arresting them to demolish their homes. They were restricted from walking on certain streets, forcing them to find alternative routes. This made me question the lies I had been told. Instead of feeling like I was protecting or helping anyone, I felt like a terrorist, terrorizing people to prevent them from opposing Israeli settlers or the military. Our mission was to instill fear in the hearts of Palestinians in Hebron, and we succeeded.

Soldiers are trained by conducting mock arrest operations in peaceful Palestinian villages. This is done to ensure that their first real arrest goes smoothly. The chosen house and resident are innocent, and the Secret Service confirms that the operation won't interfere with their intelligence gathering. The soldiers surround the house at night, blindfold and cuff the resident, and put them in a jeep. After a few minutes, the exercise is called off, and the resident is released. The purpose of these mock arrests is twofold: to provide realistic training and to make the soldiers' presence known. The villagers become curious and scared, as they witness the arrest and subsequent release of an innocent person. This constant intimidation creates a sense of fear and uncertainty among Palestinians.

The speaker discusses how acts of violence against Palestinians are ignored by the military. They believe the root issue is the occupation of Palestinian territory, which inherently lacks morality. The speaker regrets following orders to use flashbang grenades to assert control. They argue that the occupation must end for security for both Palestinians and Israelis.

In the West Bank, every house has a number. We would choose a house based on its location and features, making sure the occupants were innocent. However, it was the intense gaze of young Palestinians that made me question my actions. One particular incident that stayed with me was entering the home of a physician in the middle of the night, restricting their movements and privileges. This encounter led the physician to explain the Palestinian experience to me. I realized that despite thinking I was doing the right thing, I was actually contributing to the occupation.

People are fighting back against the Israeli soldiers who shoot at them during demonstrations. Despite the fear, it is important to fight for what is right and not live under occupation. Many families have experienced the same tragedy of losing someone to violence or imprisonment. In our family, our 14-year-old cousin Emce was murdered after going to pray in the mosque. He was caught, tortured, and shot in the heart at close range.

Israeli soldier is asked how many Palestinians he has killed. He responds with 20 and claims all in Gaza are Hamas, including children. The questioner questions the soldier about killing children and asks what type of gun was used.

A politician asks a soldier if it is possible to eradicate or uproot Hamas from Gaza. The soldier believes it is unlikely, as there is no strong political legitimacy in Israel. Without political legitimacy and clear objectives, it is impossible to make important decisions regarding a complex and risky intervention. The soldier acknowledges that the situation may change over time, but emphasizes the significant role that time plays. The soldier does not know the current direction of events.

Jewish settlers in Jerusalem live with the same rights as the speaker, while Palestinians live under the speaker's military rule. The speaker has the power to take over Palestinian homes temporarily, arrest the residents, and restrict their movement. Realizing this early on made the speaker question the lies they were told. They didn't feel like they were protecting or helping anyone, but rather terrorizing people. The speaker's perception of good and bad was shattered, feeling like a terrorist whose job was to intimidate people into not opposing Israeli settlers or the military.

A journalist and human rights defender expresses concern for their safety after receiving life threats. They recount an incident where a soldier, seemingly unaffected by the presence of an international journalist and cameras, acted aggressively.

The journalist is shocked by the dehumanizing treatment of Palestinians, comparing it to taming an animal.

Israeli Defense Forces veterans Akay Sharon and Noam Kayut, members of the forum Breaking the Silence, share their experiences as occupiers in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They discuss routine operations such as arrests and searches, as well as the disruption and destruction caused to Palestinian families. They also reveal the systemic corruption and lack of accountability within the military, including revenge attacks and the demolition of Palestinian homes. Breaking the Silence aims to bridge the gap between the reality of the occupation and the public's knowledge, both in Israel and abroad. The veterans emphasize the importance of public opinion in bringing about change and raising awareness of the moral corruption occurring in the occupied territories.

The speaker criticizes the Israeli army, calling it the operational wing of Jewish supremacy and accuses it of oppressing Palestinians. They refuse to participate in this oppression and fight against it through activism. Another speaker condemns the immorality and injustice of the situation, referring to it as genocide and an apartheid regime. They believe the recent Hamas attack is a result of the occupation and the closure of Gaza. The war started defensively but has now become an offensive attack on Gaza's civilians. Anti-Zionist Israelis express fear of the government, army, and police, as well as media suppression. They also express concern for their friends in the West Bank and the people of Gaza, emphasizing that Palestinians deserve freedom like Israelis.

The speaker discusses their discovery of Israel's involvement in selling tear gas canisters to the government of Singapore. They express shock at the realization that Israel tests its weapons on Palestinians and then sells them to other countries. The speaker also reveals that undercover Israeli soldiers, disguised as Arab Jews, incite riots to justify the use of these weapons. They further highlight Israel's history of trading weapons and knowledge with dictatorships and oppressive regimes, emphasizing the financial gains made from these transactions. The speaker concludes that this is not just an occupation but a profitable laboratory.

Every house in the West Bank has a number, and soldiers would use maps to locate specific houses. After verifying the house had the best parameters and geographical area, they ensured the people in the house were innocent before entering a Palestinian home in the middle of the night. The piercing eyes of young Palestinians motivated the speaker to break his silence. He recalls entering a physician's house in Nablus in the middle of the night, confining him, his wife, and his daughter to a room, requiring them to ask permission to use the bathroom, kitchen, or phone. The physician explained to him what it means to be a Palestinian. The speaker thought he was a good moral soldier helping entrench the occupation.

Soldier 1 admits that controlling Palestinians is routine and involves invading their homes, controlling their daily lives, and humiliating them. The presence of military activity, home invasions, patrols, and digital surveillance is widespread in the West Bank, particularly in Hebron. The United Nations reports that between 2008 and 2020, 5,590 Palestinians were killed compared to 251 Israelis. However, a member of the European Parliament claims that the numbers are much higher, stating that over 150,000 Palestinian civilians, including 33,000 children, have been killed or injured in Gaza and the West Bank since 2008.

Speaker 0, an IDF soldier from Israel, is asked about the IDF bombing Gaza and killing children. The soldier claims to not have knowledge about it and states that they only bombed Gaza in response to being bombed themselves. When asked about the reasons behind the bombings, the soldier admits to not knowing. The conversation then shifts to the history of Palestine and Israel, with the soldier denying that Palestine existed before 1948. The other person argues that Palestine still exists and is currently occupied. Tensions rise as the soldier threatens the other person, claiming to kill every Palestinian they see.

Israeli soldiers describe witnessing mass casualties and horrific scenes as they navigate through houses and communities. Babies with severed heads, families gunned down in their beds, and destroyed homes with grenades and booby traps are just some of the atrocities they encounter. The soldiers, many of whom are reserves, left their own families behind to face this unimaginable horror. As they continue their mission to evacuate casualties and eliminate terrorists, they are constantly reminded of the danger they face, with artillery firing overhead and the constant threat of attack. Despite the difficulties, the soldiers remain committed to fighting for their country and want the world to see the reality of the situation on the ground.

I was in the army, tough Israeli. 6 soldiers testified to indiscriminate violence in Palestine. They shot without distinction, targeted all males 16-50, and killed those who looked at them. Palestinians were killed fleeing a school, treated homes as souvenir shops, and destroyed property. Soldiers were bored, drew on walls, stole money, and burned down houses after use. Despite objections, commanders ordered destruction.
