Two New Defense Brass Join in Support for Breaking the Silence
Levin wrote in Haaretz last Friday, “As someone who was a combatant and a commander, and who is currently a father of two combat paratrooper officers who have been there as witnesses – I too am breaking silence.”
He added that Breaking the Silence strengthens the IDF and its morality, and that silencing it is harmful to the army.
For his part, Diskin referred to the group in a Facebook posting last week. He wrote that while he opposes the activities of nongovernmental organizations and journalists “who don’t love their country,” after reading nearly every article and report by Breaking the Silence, B’Tselem or the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, “even if they are aggravating, even if they are often inaccurate and don’t always do their work properly from a professional perspective – their contribution is very important and helps us maintain the required vigilance about the most sensitive human issues.”
