- Yehuda Shaul, founder of Breaking the Silence, a movement of Israeli ex-military speaking out about their experiences in occupied West Bank and Gaza, spoke in Seattle, Nov 14, 2013 at St. Mark's Cathedral.
😢 my heart aches for Palestinians, they have been living this way but I only find out recently. Please let's do something to help them to end their suffering under Israelis apartheid!
To help Palestinians, jews occupying Palestinian should get up , look around and admit that they came to take the land that was already belonged to Palestinians. Oops.

You're an amazing person. Not only acknowledging something's wrong but also standing for what's right...
Agree
Thank you so much for having the courage - this is the only thing that can change the world.
breaking the lies while israel is brainwashing people is hate courage?

I live on the outskirts of Ramallah. It was during operation cast lead my home was invaded by the Israeli Army , my daughter who was 16 at the time was babysitting her younger brothers and sisters and they heard loud banging on the door, they were already traumatized due to the extreme violence that was in the country at the time, so they naturally reacted by not wanting to open the door for reason that they were in fear for their lives. When they finally got them to open the door they seen my kids were very frightened. so they held them at gunpoint while some of them were dispersed into the house to search every room ransacking, and vandalizing and the soldiers that were with my children in the room kept asking them questions and some were very aggressive with the children, and some were just trying to calm them with questions like what school do you go to? and what soccer teams do you like and complimenting my youngest daughter who was 3 at the time
to those who have shown my children kindness I am thankful .
They remained in the house with them for four hours and when we came home my kids were cold, worn out and terrified beyond measure and til this day they remember what happened that night, there are so many stories I could tell you that have happened during my life here in the Occupied West Bank that's just one of them.
+mnljh711986 - I'd like to hear if you can give me your name on Facebook, I'll add you.
+mnljh711986 I am so sorry that you and your family had to experience this terror and the ongoing violence against civilians. The Israelis and Jews outside of that country are at tremendous risk when they speak out. I pray Jesus will come soon and terminate the evil and diadem the right. The meek will inherit the earth and delight themselves in the abundance of peace. Amen.
Brother I as well live on the outskirts of Ramallah when I go back every summer. My first time going, I was shot at in Ramallah since it was the beginning of the first intifada. I was 8yrs old. Had it not been for my cousin who pushed me down i could have been hit. We heard bullets zing by. I dont forget

Why the media don't cover this...!!!!
you must be new to this world. Thank Allah this video has been taken down yet by YT
oh my god, i feel guilty if i lose patience and speak angrily to strangers let alone people i know.
how far away from basic humanity do you have to be to do what israel has done?
the only way back from things like this is total admission and commitment to breaking the cycle by not participating in it. this man sets the example.
I think its too late f them..the day of Jehovah is upon us
At 38 min... I am just sad and my heart is heavy!
God bless these people. It takes bravery and a kind of strong sense of one's own morals to speak out like this, knowing that your government, 90% of your countrymen, and the majority of the Jewish community worldwide will become angry, curse you, and call you a traitor. Its never easy being the one who tells the truth that people do not wish to hear.
GOD our Creator is just Testing us in this life to separate the Good from the Bad. There will be Eternal Paradise for the Good, and Eternal Hell for the Bad. Now you may think the Palestinians lost, but don't worry, it wont be long when we are all... all standing silent in front of our Creator and all our deeds will be presented, and on that day, there will be no excuses, no do overs, no second chances, the evil will be dragged into hell.
Absolutely correct. May we be on the side that is good
The true God does not terrorize us with threats of hell. The true God does not act like the IDF against the Palestinians. The true God is pure love and does not behave like a human or other terrorizing animal. Thousands of Near Death Experience Testimonies explain this.
Sir yehuda thank for the courage you have for doing these may the guidance ang blessing of Allah will always be upon you and your collegues,you are one of a kind human being,take it from me down here philippines,God bless...

A ture hero of our times!!! There is nothing more courageous than to look at oneself in the mirror and face our own transgressions, greater still, to admit it to others and and even greater yet, set about putting it right. And there is nothing more powerful than this to bring about peace and healing for ourselves and others. Your honesty and determination is both humbling and inspiring.

Nice to read such thoughtful intellectual comments.
Honorable Jewish man saying the truth, Israelis know God before too late
Please, the closest that fat tab of lard got to the front line was in the buffet
This is quite brave and admirable and may be a sort of catharsis for the gentleman, but doesn't come close to describing the real misery of the Palestinians both under occupation and as refugees outside for decades and generations. The situation has only got much worse with time. There's no hope of any change from within. Yiztiak Rabin tried and paid for it with his life. Only sustained pressure from the outside will bring freedom for the Palestinians.
I come from Christian background married to a Muslim may he rest in peace. My husband used to talk proudly about the Jews that lived in Casablanca in Morocco and i had mixed feelings towards jews because my heart has always supported Palestinians since i was a girl. When i saw an orthodox jew rabbi shaking hands with an Iranian leader and checking information I understood about that the opposition to the state of Israel has been there in the consciousness despite propaganda and brain washing. Zionism is humanity enemy. They manipulate us to hate and fight. I support Palestine and jews that want to built one single nation as it used to be for centuries.
In November 2023, I agree that the future of Israel as a state is getting gloomy. No matter how much Zionist want to make themselves some prophesies come true by themselves. They just want war and bloodshed and the whole land for Zionist.
Thank you very much yehuda what you said 100% right as a I am Palestinian we went through exactly what you told which is hard life for us everyone deserve to live in peace and justice. and dignity God bless you
Bless you for telling the harsh truth, Yehuda. May you find peace for your honesty and repentance. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Thanks for telling the Truth
Don't let anyone reshape your character and humanity don't let anyone politicized your religion or poison your heart
to think this has been going on for a long time is beyond comprehension! one word, SHAMEFUL!!
It went for so long because the world was complicit
Your occupation has been going on for 52 years or more
thank you for speaking out
Yahuda being an Israeli jew and ex idf it must put alot of pressure on you not to come out with the truth i commend you for being able to do this yahuda ,thank you .
at 10 minutes yehuda states that most of the Jewish people of Israel have no idea at all what is really happening in their name , how very sad to see so many supposedly sane people condemning their children and grandchildren for many generations to a life of absolute misery , sadly history will not be kind to the Jewish peoples , nothing can save Israel from eventually facing justice
everyone taking responsability for what they have done instead of pointing to others responsability is the only way you can go to put an end to this.
You're a good human being protect your religion your heart and fear God who deserves to be feared
He’s protecting the truth
Thank you very much for breaking the silence and encourage everyone telling the truth.
you speak like Howard Zinn who used to say : " they say we're breaking the Peace , but we aren't here to break the Peace , we're here to break the war ! "
thank you for let world know
He has great honesty and fairness.
How can they who have suffered inflict the same kind of pain? This is heartbreaking to hear.

+Schwolfstripper Yes that will be fine with me, the world thanks you.
+Todd Boyle So, the truth is about more than just saying and admitting wrongdoing. The truth is: are the Jews going to give back the houses to the Palestinians and pay them damages? Otherwise, if Yehuda is not interested in motivations behind the military actions there are people who are interested in motivation behind this kind of publicity.
+Todd Boyle get this msg to the LDS churches. it's my religion that IS zionism. we had no right/reason to have an apostle (orson hyde 1841) praying on the mount of olives for the ingathering of abrhams children. mormon people in general are kind and of good morals. if we can get this msg to them you will see a difference in zionism. i'm truly sorry for what has happened as a result of zionism.
The truth is that Islam is a colonial, racist, apartheid occupation cult and the Islamic colonial project in Israel must end for world peace.

Breaking The Silence is an important organisation within the discussion of the occupation. Another is Jewish Voice For Peace. There are others, like If Americans Knew, Jews For Justice For Palestnians and Not In My Name. There is also one about Zionism is Not Judaism or something like that. It should be better known how many decent Jewish people are ashamed and troubled by Israel's persecution of the Palestinians under military occupation and blockade. And this guy was a serving occupation soldier, so he knows at first hand what he was ordered to do against ordinary Palestinian civilians - women, children, sick and elderly. If you can't stand al the preliminaries, start @ 8 minutes. And then go for Miko Peled, also from this church in Seattle. These are first-hand accounts, in Peled''s case plus being the son of a famous Israeli general. These facts are carefully hidden by Israeli hasbara because using atrocities to enforce the stealing of land to drive out the indigenous people to make a home for a special breed, is too terrible to believe.
The simple solution is for Israel to end the military occupation of the Palestinians it started with the 1967 invasion.
mrsbrown andhercat In 1967 there were no palestinian people, they called themselves either jordanians or egyptians, just saying
I didn't know the Palestinians had the military might to defeat Israel in the way you describe. And the only ethnic cleansing I know is by Israel on the Bedouins in the Negev.
So you deny the Prawer Plan? You are full of hasbara shit. Today (March 8th) Israel destroyed a swathe of Bedouin farmland at Wadi al-Niam, which is normal in a day's life in the Naqab. It's you who need research. I know my stuff.

1:03:51 Love how he just ignores the pointed question that trys to justify the criminal activity as if it is what provides freedom.
The occupied peoples always resisted their occupiers with violence. This person is trying to end the occupation in order to ease his conscience, but he is not ready to accept that his state is an occupying state based on ethnic cleansing.
Salam und hallo.

Why did u say this?
Most of us here can not understand Deutsch
Do you guys get this guy, he is american decent, his parents were born and raised in america. Yet he and his parents think they have more right to the land of Palestine than someone who has lived there for centuries. He is nuts. I got bored with this speech, it says nothing new and its really is about feeding guilt, without change. He is so careful not to blame Israel and does not give much detail.
I am so sorry for this man's pain where he was forced and tricked to do things when he was so young. Bless him for letting people know what is going on. Jesus will forgive him for repenting and trying to make restitution. May he find peace in the Lord. Even so, come Lord Jesus and terminate the evil and diadem the right, oh Righteous Judge come in mercy and might soon. I pray that there be as little suffering as possible.
These policies, which grant Jewish Israelis the same rights and privileges wherever they live and discriminate against Palestinians to varying degrees wherever they live, reflect a policy to privilege one people at the expense of another
if people want to speak about the U.N., and what they say, they have just said the Palestinians are justified and LEGAL for what they do because they are resisting occupation. It comes down to this- do I have the right to take your property? Do I have that right if someone else tells me I can take your property?
People will hear this and say that Israel is not an Apartheid state.
The reason I think that something is going to give ,even though I am not jewish my wife is I have met many jews northamerican,israeli the discovery I have made is jewish people have a conscience and intelligent and question everything the jewish people are going to bring this occupation to end themselves only problem are the religious zealots ,but I am confident they will find way. end.

Noone should die from either sides, I had enough of it.
Yehuda .... there have been killings on the ground. You cannot claim that no killings have taken place on the ground by the military.
Wow.
Does "Breaking the Silence" still exist, or it was completely stifled by Netanyahu?
What is the name of the book
Bravo
Damn, 8 years later and killings are normalised.
papiiiiii!!!
very sad
you may skip justice in this world but no body will skip justice infront of allah for sure
The horror you experience is unforgettable and unforgivable you can claim your sins by asking Allah forgiveness and asking Palestinian forgiveness because there is accountability for everyone no matter what religion or the colour of their skin in front of Allah:God
It says something that the first question was "how many Palestinians, on average, does each soldier kill." That someone in the audience would have that view maybe indicates that the BtS rhetoric goes too (or perhaps just how far left and distorted audience members tend to be.) (But kudos to Shaul for unequivocally dismissing the idea.)
they not the God people anymore
Seriously dude I am at minute mark 22 and all I can think of screaming is GET ON WITH IT!
Ha ha! Me too, a common reaction. A lot of people were disappointed, this is not Max Blumenthal or Miko Peled. Shaul just shrugs his shoulders and says, here's dinner. If this is the world you want, eat up.

Everything in this lecture is based on a 100 soldiers out of 100,000 each recruitment cycle. That's 0.1% of the soldiers you are listening to. What about 99.9% of the soldiers that think the opposite and you are choosing to ignore? Basing a whole theory and a lecture out of what a 100 soldiers out of 100,000 think is complete ignorance. Presenting the opinion of 0.1% as facts is an insult to your listeners.
+Michael Elboim Oh, you mean the people with no opinion? Anybody can step forward and indeed some of the soldiers in the book are pro-occupation. But the 99% with no opinion? That's highly correlated with having no moral compass, either.
+Todd Boyle If 0.1% join you in your cause, can you automatically say that the other 99.9% lack opinion? Is there no possibility that they might think the opposite - and that is the reason they did not join you?
Currently, Breaking the Silence is called, even in the media, "the most hated organization by Israelis", and that's saying something. Unlike most countries, specifically in the USA and Europe, in Israel, almost every citizen was a soldier at one point.
Saying that the citizens do not know what they are sending soldiers to do is illogical, since most citizens WERE those soldiers and did exactly the same. In Israel, the citizens know EXACTLY what soldiers do, where they go and how they treat their enemies, since they did it themselves. Since only 0.1% joined Breaking the Silence, that means that only few agree with their claims, while the majority of citizens and soldiers believe it is not true.
Netanyahu is still elected by a majority of votes every time - and in a democracy, that means that the citizens support him. The Israeli citizens are not ignorant - they were in the IDF just like Mr. Shaul was, saw everything that he saw, but understood something else.
You don't realize you have been indoctrinated into hatred and callous indifference. Your statistics would probably have been accurate among Germans under Hitler. That did not make the small percentage wrong. These brave people are trying to save Israel.
+Liza Tanzawa Unlike the WW2 period, I have the internet and I have been indoctrinated only by objective information which I've collected myself - from both sides. An absurd majority of soldiers claim Mr. Shaul is a liar. His whole unit wrote a letter saying he's a liar. His information is based on nothing, and you believe his absurd stories without wanting a single proof.
+James Fletcher If this is what you see when you look at Gaza, we clearly see the world differently, and nothing I say can change that. I will say what I see and hope that you can accept that we will probably never agree.
I see a terrorist organization that hides weapons inside those homes, schools and hospitals, who wants to get as much money as it can from European countries and Human Rights groups, and will fire rockets from within ranks of his own children onto Israel, just to prepare a camera and publish fabricated reality that will wink at the hearts of people like you, who are blind and oblivious to facts.
The truth is that Islam tries in many ways and forms to replace the western world, as it was created to replace Judaism and Christianity. Israel is a part of the western world, and so should be anyone who opposes groups such as ISIS. Would you be angry at France or USA if they killed children, destroyed homes, schools and hospitals and enforced many war crimes - onto ISIS? In Israel's eyes, this is exactly the same.
Those "war crimes" are necessary to keep the civilized western world intact. According to my educational compass, calling the destruction of a hospital filled with weapons a war crime is a crime itself.

Sorry we survived the pogroms, deportations, ghettos, extermination camps and the Holocaust.
Sorry we were not destroyed. Although they tried. Many have tried. Really tried. Throughout history.
Sorry we survived the horrors and persecutions.
Sorry we returned to the land of our ancestors (following pogroms and persecution and then following the Holocaust) and settled in it, after we were deported and exiled and deported and exiled again.
Sorry we returned to the land of our ancestors. Which is ours. And unlike a host of other peoples, we also have historical evidence and documentation of our right to live here.
Sorry we got the partition plan in 1947, and agreed to establish a state within ridiculous borders.
Sorry we were not destroyed in the War of Independence.
Sorry we were not destroyed by the Palestinian Arabs in the kind of riots that have been perpetrated on us since the day we returned here, back in the 19th century. They have been killing us ever since. So really sorry.
Sorry we built a strong army. To protect us. We even defined it as a defense army.
Sorry we built ourselves in the Middle East. With ten fingers we built it, and during non-stop wars and incessant violence from all sides.
Sorry we found solutions to all the military challenges our enemies posed to us.
Sorry we won the wars. Sorry we were not destroyed. Sorry we were not thrown into the sea, or returned to Europe and the Arab countries, to live in ghettos.
Sorry we developed Iron Dome.
Sorry we found a technological solution to the tunnel problem, from which hundreds of terrorists were to emerge and entire communities of Jews were murdered. Just sorry about that.
Sorry we offered the Palestinians a state three times, but we refused to include the entire territory of our state. Sorry we did not give up everything for them.
Sorry we would rather win a war than be slaughtered in it and murdered and killed.
Sorry we have imagination, resourcefulness and ingenuity.
Sorry we insist on being strong in a reality where countries like Iran openly call for our destruction. And organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah say out loud that we have no right to live and exist.
Sorry we insist on living and existing.
Sorry we are stronger than Hamas. And Hezbollah. And Iran. And Syria. And Lebanon. And insist on maintaining our strength, for the simple reason that if we become weak, we simply will not exist. We'd be destroyed. Deported. Concentrated again in the camps.
Sorry we are not symmetrical. Sorry we are investing billions in protection. Tens of billions, actually.
Sorry we are investing billions in anti-missile weapons. Sorry we do not let 4000 missiles fired at us fall on Israel. In the name of symmetry.
Sorry we insist on staying alive. It's not symmetrical, I know. But if symmetry means being like Hamas - both in terms of victims and in the folly of eliminating their people and their future - then we give up. Prefer the asymmetry. Because symmetry in the Middle East means destruction for the Jews.
So sorry we are not symmetrical. Sorry we refuse to die, be destroyed or live in insane poverty because we have invested all our money in weapons. Look at us - we have also managed to invest billions in the IDF and in security and also to establish a prosperous state. Sorry we are not like Hamas - which is incapable. Sorry we are not like Arafat and Abu Mazen, who just do not want a state. Sorry we have progressed and we are looking forward to the future of our people.
Sorry we are not symmetrical. And sorry for the following words too: But take your symmetry and shove it to a place where the sun don't shine.
We will continue to be asymmetrical. Because our very existence depends on it. And we intend to continue to exist.
Sorry we intend to continue to exist. At all costs. At almost any cost we will continue to exist. So sorry about that in advance. Right from the bottom of my heart. Sorry.
If you think this guy is breaking the silence then you're a fool, this guy is trying to serve his country differently and people think he's exposing Israel, had it be the case he wouldn't be living there normally.
I'm Israeli, I served 3 years, and I've got to say that I didn't know some of these things. It make no sense to me and it sounds really bad. I still think the IDF is the most humane army in the world. Far from being perfect, and some commanders can be very stupid and cruel, but the fact that people can speak against it like this guy in the video means everything. This is true democracy. Didn't like what you see? say it out loud. The scare tactic should be stopped, and the settlements should be ruined but for peace. True peace.
In Israel this man is despised by many...whatdoes that say about them?
+James Fletcher it's not easy to hear what this guy has to say. People might not understand the intentions of this dude. What does it say about them? It means that it's hard for them to accept the idea that some people see things in a different way. Pluralism. Unfortunately - most people have this problem.
+Aviv Blumstein Only thing is, in your "true democracy", people like this are sent to prison for "inciting mutiny".
Conscripted to serve in the Hasbara department doesn't mean that you know what the occupation is doing all over
+Henke Ria Sweden has zero enemies so it's a very bad example..
In Gaza all Israelis were forced to move out of Gaza. Why in Judea and Sameria for the last 50 years, did the Palestinians not move out to Jordan or Gaza? In 1967 six day war Israel won Jerusalem and West Bank so why not do the same as Israel was required to do in Gaza? They have had 50 1/2 years to locate outside of the won territory of Israel. If the same thing that happened in Gaza with Israelis living there had happened in Judea and Sameria 50 years ago by forcing the won territory to have all Palestinians move out, wouldn't there be no need to have the IDF in the West Bank doing these things? This must stop but if it continues as it is how can peace be acquired?
Rebecca thank for your question "how can peace be acquired?" The answer is simple. Abolish the existing government of Israel-Palestine and all its walls and differetn statuses-- Establish a standard, generic democratic country, guaranteeing equal rights to all. Start a truth and reconciliation commission including RETURN of large fractions of stolen property to the rightful owners.
@@ToddBoyle You said it Todd. But people like Ms Freeman are willfully blind... and I mean willfully. They know the truth, they know they forcefully stole the land from an indigenous set of people who were already there when the European Jews arrived in Palestine. So what to do... well create a new narrative... lie. aka. Hasbara... create realities on the ground even if you have to commit atrocities. They think all the justification about the land belonging to them because the GOD of the Bible told them so is sufficient for killing people so they can forced out of their homes will not do. The world knows it... and these 50 years are but a blink of time... it seems long but Israel will surely sow what it has reaped. Its the law of nature... one cannot live by the sword and not expect to die by it. Happened to every colonial enterprise... Romans, Chinese, Ottomans, Greek... the list goes on. This is no different.

Breaking silence is so irrelevant
It's all fucked up. Isreal wants a homeland, Palestinians have resisted it all along, Israel is the strongest and on in goes. They both need to compromise, they all continue to live together or they will die together. They should create 2 States with Israel slighty smaller, so Palestinians won't feel threatened. After all , the lived there longer ,but at the same time, Jews want some help as they are homeless and they have been taken to holocaust.
