Brit Tzedek v'Shalom is co-sponsoring an exhibit and organizing chapter events with members of the
Israeli group Breaking the Silence/Shovrim Shtika (BTS) in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Cambridge, MA. The exhibit
includes over 100 photographs and video testimonies by current
and former Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers documenting
their experiences in the occupied territories.
BTS is an organization of veteran Israeli soldiers that
collects testimonies of soldiers who served in the occupied
territories during the second intifada and thereby give public
witness to the impact on Israeli society of military service in
the West Bank and Gaza. For more information, see their website
at www.shovrimshtika.org
