What does it mean to be Jewish? It used to mean telling the truth. Fortunately, some still do.

Burning Conscience: Israeli Soldiers Speak Out

(AlternateFocus) A searing interview with former Israeli soldiers Avichai Sharon and Noam Chayut, both veterans of the IDF (Israeli "Defense" Forces) and members of Breaking the Silence (BreakingTheSilence.org.il).

Sharon and Chayut served during the second Intifada ("Uprising"), a bloodbath that claimed the lives of over 3,000 Palestinians and 950 Israelis.

After thorough introspection, these young Jewish men have chosen to speak out about their criminal experiences as self-described "brutal occupiers of a disputed land."
