  • In a rare, candid conversation, Abby Martin interviews a former Israeli Army combat soldier who served as an occupier in Palestine’s Hebron City.
    Eran Efrati spent years as a sergeant and combat soldier in the Israeli military, but has since become an outspoken critic of the occupation of Palestine and Israeli apartheid.
    Efrati gives explosive testimony on the reality of his service and explains how war crimes are institutionalized, as well as how systematic the oppression against Palestinians really is in a war of conquest that will no-doubt be accelerated under the Trump Administration.

    I WAS in the SADF (South African Defence Force) 1990-1994. I served three 3-months tours of duty, in various South African townships, in 1991, during "apartheid" and we NEVER did (what the IDF did and still does, to the Palestinians) to the local people, living in the South African townships. We were there to protect and mostly, to STOP the "faction fighting", between the Zulu and Xhosa tribes. What the IDF, are doing and have been doing in Israel, to the Palestinian people, is NOT "apartheid", it is what the Nazi's, did to Jewish people, in the ghettos, of Lodz and Poznan, which is ETHNIC CLEANSING, but slowly, so that the world won't notice.

      👏👍 I totally agree. Sadly, it's not the only country this happened to. It's been happening to Kurdish people also. In Iraq (genocide 'musterdgasattack' in Hallabjah in 1988 and Anfal campaign by Saddam), in Iran recently (Jin Jiyan Azadi), in Turkey (Dersim 1937 Genocide) and actively they are bombing Kurds in Iraq and Syria right now, Syria/ Iraq ( 2014/ 2015/ 2016 ISIS Genocide on (Yezidi) Kurds). But no one in the world talks about that! There are over 80 million Kurds living in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Armenia, and they have been oppressed since their country was divided in 1923 after the treaties of Sèvres and Laussanne.😢 Our country got divided by England/ France and the USA at a meeting the Kurds weren't invited to. Just like that, their country was divided like a piece of cake, and families couldn't visit each other on the other side of the border. Now the Kurds are minorities in 5 different countries. Why? There is a lot of oil there! That was also the reason they invaded Iraq in 2003 by lying to the whole world about weapons. Certainly not for human rights or anything like that. Saddam had been a cruel dictator for many, many years, and nobody cared. He even got a CIA training in America and the weapons to fight Iran. Because America simply saw Iran as a bigger threat. That's how Saddam also used chemicals against soldiers of Iran, during the Iran and Iraq war.

      It's called compartmentalization. It's helped along by the standard war propaganda tactic of dehumanizing the enemy. Usually the enemy would be likened to animals, and there is the next example of compartmentalization, because people are quite stubbornly resisting the realization of the value of animal life. If someone can be convinced that an animal does not have feelings, or self-awareness, or a 'soul', or consciousness, they can be convinced to murder a human being.

      Jackj28 Abby Martin constantly talks about Israel how they kill Palestinians and how they should divide the land. 1. She will not acknowledge the fact that Palestine cooperates with Hamas ( terror organization who wishes to destroy western civilization). 2. She believes Israel should submit to Palestines 2 state solution, completely ignoring their right to their land.

      @rationalroman3705 Před 6 lety +8

      If you stop lying about Abby's position on the two state solution, you would know Ms Martin supports a 1 state solution based on equal rights. Abby, like Miko Peled is a realist, and understands that a 1 state solution based on equality and not apartheid is the path to peace and justice. Through Israel's 70 years of non-stop criminal actions, a 2 solution is nigh impossible. Perhaps, rather than spewing your Hasbara horseshit, you should actually research what are Abby's views on this matter.

      2000 years ago this was our land. Hashem הקדוש ברוך הוא did give us conditions.. And your right we broke these conditions and sinned, the Romans came and destroyed Israel and exiled us. We still mourn about this today. BUT in 1948, Hashem allowed us back in to our home, and in 1967, he even gave us Jerusalem! ברוך השם this means that we are probably entering into the Messianic Era and might have mercy on us. This had been made clear by countless Rabbis! And we're not leaving, this is our home!! Us Jews have a COMMANDMENT, A Mitzva commanding us to forever keep the memory of Jerusalem alive because nobody else cares. Telling us to leave is just telling us to rebel against our G-D who did everything to give us this land!! So NO we won't leave.

      No it does not, it requires none of these. All it requires is money.
      Think about it for a moment - Israel is a democracy and tiny. No secrets kept. How come this 1 guy among millions of others is the only one "coming out"?
      Why, for example, I don't "come out" like him? How come the experience I have is different from his?
      Every Israeli citizen is also an IDF soldier, for the obvious reasons.

      ''Why, for example, I don't "come out" like him? How come the experience I have is different from his?''
      The answer is simple. Brainwashed by the Zionists. It worked on you or you are immoral.

    • @EternalNetzah
      @EternalNetzah Před 7 lety +1

      Should I be sad because I expected this answer, or should I laugh with how stupid that answer is despite expecting it?
      Let's assume I was brainwashed. I'd like to know how I was brainwashed, and how it came to practice "on the field" where I preformed my "crimes".
      I, for example, can present points that show how you are brainwashed. Let's go over this:
      1. "Brainwashed by the Zionists" - Apparently you accuse me of being brainwashed automatically. Also you refer to a certain group of people as as criminals responsible for it - perhaps without ever meeting them or knowing what they are. You already have an imaginary enemy that you were taught to hate.
      2. "You are immoral" - Despite hardly knowing anything about me, you accuse me of being immoral despite the fact I bring you the possibility that you are wrong. That shows that even if I manage to prove you wrong, you will accuse me of crimes I didn't commit in response to that, perhaps as a result of brainwashing which means in a world where you can be wrong is non-existent.
      Typical.

    • @EternalNetzah
      @EternalNetzah Před 7 lety +1

      @Michelle sure!
      The Palestinians are executed by Israeli soldier because it's actually false. They like to report it as innocent people die in order to gain attention and money by selling footage to the media.
      Israel does not practice execution at all, not in the fiend and not in captivity. Every Israeli soldier is taught in boot camp about the IDF's official doctrine of ethics like purity of arms. If these ethics are broken, the soldier MUST refuse the order given.
      So as you can see, footage can be manipulated. If you really want the truth, your best chance is to simply travel to Israel and see for yourself. And don't be one of these people who get an Arab guide who then takes you around in a bus and tells you about their "suffering", it's not that different from visiting North Korea and having a tour guide there.

    Thank you Abby for this interview, you're amazing ❤. It takes a big courage to be an Israeli soldier and state the truth. Thanks for your courage and pray that more soldiers with good hearts and conscious get on the right side as well. Over 75 years of brutal occupation and massacres is unbearable by any nation. Free Free Palistine.

      Hadith Riyad as-Salihin 1820 is a call to Genocide Jews, so why are Muslims so upset and are shouting Nakba?

    So true what this homest man says. There needs to be outside pressure to force the changes necessary. Palestinians must have equal rights.

      The Palestinians need to have their country back. And all the people who came there after 1948 need to go back

    This is why I have to leave Israel. I came here unfortunately NOT knowing what was REALLY going on.
    I can't even speak my mind because I don't know what will happen to me if I do. As of a couple of months ago, you can't even get into the country if you are known to be against the state.
    I went through a major emotional trauma when I started learning the TRUTH. : (
    I'm trying to raise the money to return to the US. At least there I feel I can make a difference in freeing people from the tyranny of oppression because while it's certainly NOT the same as what the Palestinians go through, we are still slaves there too.
