The recent violence was so ruinous that even IDF officials called it a “pogrom.” If it only wanted to, Israel's government could give the order to stop this.
Ori Givati served in the Armored Corps of the IDF from 2010 – 2013 as a tank commander. In 2017 Ori decided to break his silence and provide testimony about his personal experience as a soldier in the occupied Palestinian territories. Ori then joined the team of Breaking the Silence as a researcher, collecting testimonies from over 100 former soldiers. He completed a B.A. in International Relations and Political Science at the Open University. Today he is the Advocacy Director of Breaking the Silence, responsible for Breaking the Silence's international relations, media, and advocacy in the Knesset and around the world.
The level of tech surveillance that Israel imposes on the Palestinian territories is both astounding and awful.
Many of my fellow Israelis have taken to the streets to stop Netanyahu’s right-wing government from gutting the judiciary. That’s not enough.
