An Israeli veterans organization has released a hard-hitting new video attacking \u201cBreaking the Silence\u201d \u2013 an Israeli NGO that publishes what it says are the anonymous testimonies of Israeli soldiers who participated in abuses against Palestinians \u2013 for \u201clying\u201d about an incident in which a Palestinian prisoner was allegedly beaten unconscious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The group, Reservists on Duty, said that the original Hebrew version of the video had garnered one million views, triggering their decision to release it in English as well. \u201cOrganizations promoting BDS such as Students for Justice for Palestine use testimonies provided by Breaking the Silence to further their agenda of demonizing Israel and attempting to curtail Israel\u2019s right to defend itself from murderous terror,\u201d said Reservists on Duty Executive Director Amit Deri.<\/span><\/p>\n

The video focuses on the claim of a Breaking the Silence activist, Dean Issacharoff, who claimed at a protest rally that he was compelled by his commanding officer to tie up and beat a Palestinian prisoner while his soldiers watched. \u201cI grabbed him by the neck and started to knee him in the face and chest until he was bleeding and unconscious,\u201d Issacharoff claimed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The soldiers in the video, who served with Issacharoff in the army, strenuously deny his version of events. A number of them are filmed looking directly into the camera and telling Issacharoff, \u201cyou\u2019re a liar.\u201d Another soldier asks, \u201cWhere do you come up with this stuff?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYour soldiers trusted you and you spat on them,\u201d says another.<\/span><\/p>\n
