Now more than ever, silence is not an option.

We were the ones sent to uphold our government's policy in the occupied Palestinian territories. We’ve seen the price of these policies and believe we have the responsibility to share what we witnessed and took part in. We do this to educate and mobilize our communities to demand change and accountability.
Breaking the Silence is the only organization that collects, verifies and publishes testimonies from former IDF soldiers about their service in the occupied Palestinian territories. For twenty years, our mission has been to speak the truth and to confront society with the reality of occupation, even in the hardest of moments.
Throughout the horror and grief we’ve felt over the past months, we remain committed to our goal of ending the occupation.
Since the tragedy of October 7th and the ensuing war which still wages on, claiming countless lives and endangering the hostages who are still held captive in Gaza, our work has become more critical than ever.
Over the past twenty years, more than 1,400 former IDF soldiers have chosen to break their silence and give testimony. They continue to come forward to speak out, whether they served in the West Bank or in the current war in Gaza.
Soldiers’ testimonies make it possible for us to educate the public, advocate for an end to the occupation, and demand accountability.
In voicing the experiences of former soldiers, we refuse to fall in line with our government officials who try to tell us, and the world, that our safety is dependent on the oppression of the Palestinian people.
But we need you in order to continue this work.
Donate today and help make sure we can continue raising our voices in a moment where the stakes have never been higher.
Your donation today will make double the impact, thanks to our generous donors who have committed to matching every gift.
