In a series of moving and provocative conversations, nine
members of the Israeli Defense Force tell why they refused to serve
in the West Bank and Gaza. The "Refuseniks" describe their risky
moral decision against the background of what is perhaps the most
volatile conflict in the world today: the Israeli-Palestinian
struggle. Their individual choices and their collective activism
have generated intense debate in Israel and the international
community, from the leading Israeli newspaper Ha''Aretz to a segment
on 60 Minutes.
In a sociocultural mosaic of the Refusenik movement and the
political context in which it arose, these men describe their
individual family backgrounds and beliefs. Dedicated to the welfare
of their country and its cultural heritage, they outline their
concerns for the future of Israel. As they tell their stories of
personal struggle, they also raise the disturbing and highly
controversial issue of human rights abuses in the occupied
territories.
These personal accounts offer new perspectives on some entrenched
ideas about the situation in the Middle East. The testimony in
Breaking Ranks is essential background for a full understanding of
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In this time of grave crisis in
the Middle East, with no solution in sight to repair the utter
collapse of the peace process, these voices offer a message of hope
in their commitment to their society and nation.
