Résumé
The very name of the Israel Defense Forces suggests that its primary mission is the defense of the country's territory, and support for the occupation of Palestinian territory rests on the belief that the army's actions and presence in the… West Bank and Gaza are essentially defensive and responsive. But Israeli soldiers reveal how the key planks of the army's ostensibly protective program - "prevention of terror," "separation of populations," "preservation of the fabric of life," and "law enforcement" - have in fact served to accelerate acquisition of Palestinian land, cripple all normal political and social life, and ultimately thwart the possibility of independence. Includes violence and strong language. 2012.
