The ″turncoat″ sons of Israel
Founded 11 years ago, Breaking the Silence has collected and published over 1,100 mostly anonymous testimonies from IDF (Israel Defence Forces) veterans that document army violations against Palestinians. Earlier this month, an Israeli court heard a petition filed by the state attorney to force the organisation to reveal the identity of some of the testifiers. Ylenia Gostoli caught up with Breaking the Silence′s co-founder Yehuda Shaul
Why do you consider this court case particularly worrying?
Yehuda Shaul: Because the reason they′re asking [us to reveal the identity of the testifiers] is that they want to shut us down. Unless they want to reveal their identity, people who testify to Breaking the Silence do it upon condition of anonymity. That′s the only way to get these stories out. After all, if you know that you′ll be thrown in jail the second you open your mouth, you′re hardly likely to break the silence.

Many Palestinian intellectuals and political analysts
find themselves in the unenviable position of having to
declare a stance on whether they support or reject upcoming
Palestinian elections which are scheduled for May 22 and
July 30. But there are no easy answers.
The
long-awaited decree by Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas last January to hold legislative and
presidential elections in the coming months was widely
welcomed, not as a triumph for democracy but as the first
tangible positive outcome of dialogue between rival
Palestinian factions, mainly Abbas’ Fatah party and
Hamas.
As far as inner Palestinian dialogue is
concerned, the elections, if held unobstructed, could
