      New Website Testimonies Refute ‘Breaking the Silence’


      A dozen IDF reservists have responded to the Breaking the Silence report’s anonymous accusations of alleged human rights abuses by Israeli soldiers in Gaza with English-language testimonies. Available on www.soldiersspeakout.com, the signed, on-camera counter-testimonies about Hamas terrorists' use of Gazans as human shields refute attempts to expose "moral corruption" within the IDF.

      "We came upon an ambulance from a local children's hospital," Pinchas Sanderson from Jerusalem recounted in his counter-testimony on the new Web site. "It was suspicious because there was a very old lady in the ambulance of a children's hospital. Inside we found three RPG rocket launchers," he said. "We couldn't believe someone would use an ambulance to move them."
