There’s a contradiction inherent in how Israel reckons with its atrocities against Palestinians. On one hand Israel’s leaders and their supporters call for the genocide of Palestinians, such as this past weekend when Israel’s Defense Minister announced a blockade of Gaza, referring to its residents as “human animals.” On the other hand, the grisly truth of Israeli war crimes must stay out of sight, out of mind. Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli veterans, attempts to shatter the silence surrounding war crimes against Palestinians with soldier testimony. Nir Avishai Cohen of Breaking the Silence joins The Marc Steiner Show to talk about the work of his organization, the failure of the Israeli left, and his new book, Love Israel, Support Palestine: An Israeli Story.
Editor’s Note: This interview was recorded in September, 2023, before “The Flood of Al-Aqsa” operation by Palestinian armed resistance forces took place on Oct. 7.

There are many Israelis who help the Palestinians some at great cost to themselves because they stand for what is right, most of us find it very hard to blame Israelif nothing else they have been suffering lots of discrimination n hardship for 2000 years, If I was an Israeli I would rather die than lose my country this I very well understand n respect But same time Israelis must understand the oppression of the Palestinians has to stop must stop you cannot right the wrongs of history oppressing and killing Palestinians cannot right the wrongs Jewish people have suffered in the past it cannot take the pains Jewish people have suffered in the past
Wasted interview

Beautiful talk.
UN human right organizations should investigate the 1000 casualties of Israeli by Hamas, because nothing adds up with story of gun mans going door to door and managing to kill 1000 Israelis. No way in hell, and where was the Israeli super military forces for 7 hours, while Hamas was going door to door. Really?
This was a false flag bs by Nethyahoo to stop the a year long massive protests in Israel against his government and demanding for him to step down.
Great, this is sanity. A natural sense of empathy for other human beings, especially their suffering. Shades of Miko Peled. You give me hope.
I am surprised YouTube hasn't deleted this video yet
There is absolutely no REASON for Israel to be a country. it was put there for Britain's own geopolitical reasons. it was made up.
I'm will to bet that less then one percent of you. Understand the complexity of the whole situation.
Thank you for your reporting â¤
Thanks man for speaking the truth
How does this Israeli respond to the Hamas leaders who publically proclaim that the goal of Hamas is to kill all Jewish people. Even back in the late 1930s and late 1940s, the Arabs consistently told the British that they want NO Jewish nation in Palestine.
Nazism/fascism is back. If anywhere in the West you express a different opinion about Covid/Ukraine/Israel than the mainstream prescribes, you are labeled a disinformer and you are destroyed. There may still be some time to resist encroaching slavery, but there is not much time left. The realization of the novel "Hunger Games" is approaching.
Pack of unsubstantiated lies. No factual evidence as usual.
War crimes
Is it true that Benjamin Netanyahu’s son fled to the U.S. the day after the Gaza invasion?
Like a liberal in the US. More truthful?
Ha Ha, where's Max Headroom? He should be fronting this channel.
Highly suggest you all read (Zach.12.1-3) for THE best friend you have your going to learn is- Yeshua ha Mashiach!
Excellent food for thought
Killing innocent children and civilians is NEVER justified.
