For Gaza youth, IDF testimonies feel more like confessions
Palestinian youth respond to a play based on testimonies by Israeli soldiers, which portrays the brutality of the occupation from the point of view of the occupiers.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT "IT'S WHAT WE DO"...
"I believe that exposing these soldiers’ actions through creative means such as this play will steadily build up a momentum that will lead to change. It seems like a small step in the face of such impunity. But my hope is that once the silence is broken, there will be no turning back."
--Rana Shubair, Gaza
"I was moved by this play. Its honesty and simplicity made for a very powerful piece. Do I think it represents all viewpoints? Of course not. But it shares stories that are often not heard, especially in America."
--Mary Burke-Hueffmeier
"Breaking the silence shows soldiers with a conscience. I'm certain they are vilified in Israel. This is what happens in an ultra right wing society, the zone where Israel is."
--Richard Greve
"The Jewish people are not all alike. They include some of the best educated and most compassionate people in the world. Those who speak out as shown in the case above deserve great support and our admiration. It is not easy to go against one's leaders. To do so is considered traitorous even when the leaders are traitors to the great principles of their people."
--Maynard Runkle
