Im Tirtzu director Matan Peleg responded to the closing of the case against Breaking the Silence spokesman Dean Yissacharof.
"Once again it was proved that Breaking the Silence, an organization whose workers in Israel are fifth columnists is designed to appease its foreign benefactors and not to attain the truth. Pinnochio is the most appropriate model for the morals of this embarrassing organization," Peleg said.
Im Tirtzu is a Zionist non-governmental organization based in Israel. Its name is derived from an epigraph appended to the frontespiece of Theodor Herzl's novel Altneuland, 'if you wish it,[Im Tirtzu] it is no fairy-tale,'
