Human rights defenders in Israel
face
intimidation; Breaking the Silence meetings are cancelled, and
people are afraid to criticize the right-wing dominance.
One fanatic
wants
thugs to systematically kill Palestinians rather than arrest them.
The accusations made by a right-winger against a human rights defender
in the Tel Aviv City Council demonstrate the contempt for the truth
typical of the right-wing that now dominates Israel. Look at his
claim that Breaking the Silence is "silencing people" by publishing
what Israeli soldiers say about what they saw and did in the
occupation. The only adequate term is Orwell's term, "blackwhiting".
