Product Information

In 2010 BtS published a highly tendentious book titled Occupation of the Territories – Israeli Soldier testimonies 2000-2010, which claimed to provide a counter to the “official Israeli position” on IDF actions in the territories.

Perry's dad was his best mate - he was also abused and suffered a life in silence as a result Credit: Supplied I had issues with the 'bad guys' in the story. I have no trouble in believing that the experimentation happened, or that the doctors are sometimes madder than the patients. That I know for a fact. But I don't believe that they would have been as lenient on Sarah's family as they were, and that slightly spoiled the read for me. I guess I expected something a little harder hitting from this author.

Chamberlain's latest novel (after Private Relations) is an empathic but honey-coated tale of one woman's journey into her long-buried past, and of the lingering impact of her disturbing discoveries. Continue reading » Guided only by a child's silence and an old woman's fading memories, the two unravel a tale of love and despair, of bravery and unspeakable evil. A tale that's shrouded in silence…and that unbelievably links them all. On one hand we have a moving tale of a daughter carrying out her father's dying wish that she look after and visit an elderly lady with dementia. On the other hand we have a story set in St Margaret's psychiatric hospital; a story of medical experimentation, bullying and government cover ups. And that's what pushed us, I believe. What we'd do was go out night after night, drawing fire, go into alleys that we knew were dangerous. There were arrests, there were all kinds of arrests. But the high point of the night was drawing fire, creating a situation where they fired at us. And you're still looking through the binoculars and you're starting to get confused. Do I want to? Don't I want to? Maybe I actually want them to miss.

He found out his son was abused and asked me to keep it quiet. He lived with that silence for the rest of his life. There was random peripheral fire so there were generally no people on rooftops. Some time in the middle of the night, we detected someone on a roof. We focused our sights on him, not knowing for sure whether or not he was a scout. But we targeted him and got an OK to fire because he was on a rooftop very close to one of our forces. Some have been sexually abused and need help confronting their past, while some are still being abused and are desperately trying to escape. So instead of following in his dad and grandad's footsteps of bottling up their trauma, he became determined to confront it; to break the destructive cycle of silence and to help others too, which is what he is doing on TikTok.EXCERPT: She knew the instant she entered her father's room that he was not at peace. He was clearly worse than when she'd seen him that afternoon. His breathing was raspier, his skin greyer, and he was agitated. As he reached for her, his long arms trembling in the air, he wore a look of desperation on his once handsome face. Man patinka jausmas, kai pasiimi knyga į rankas ir atsipekėji tik ties paskutiniu skyriumi. Taip nutiko ir su šiuo romanu. Pritariu tiems, kas man ją rekomendavo. On Shuhada Street there's a very short section where Arabs may walk as well, which leads to Tel Rumeida neighbourhood. Once I was sent there and we found three Jewish kids hitting an old Arab woman. Another man from the Jewish settlement happened along and also joined them in yelling at the woman: "May you die!" When we got there they were mainly yelling, but there had clearly been blows dealt as well. I think they even threw stones at her. Although I kind of knew where the story was going there was a few surprises which had me wide eyed.

In July 2019, Breaking the Silence was a signatory on a letter to the President of the German Bundestag calling to revoke a joint resolution defining BDS campaigns against Israel as antisemitic. I enjoyed the book well enough -- it's fast paced and the narrative draws the reader in with the topic -- torture and experimentation on patients at psychiatric facilities circa 1950s. It's hard to believe that many of those "treatments" were allowed and even encouraged! What we wanted to show by reading for 10 hours is that the things described in the testimonies we have collected are not exceptional, rather they are unexceptional," says Yehuda Shaul, one of the founders of the group and a former soldier himself. If I was abused and my son got abused I would blame myself. He obviously lived with guilt and shame and he used alcohol.” Breaking the cycleChamberlain is such a talented and prolific writer. Out of the 4 books of hers I’ve read I absolutely loved 2, but I found this 1, and 1 other, a bit cloying and rather too convenient in the way the plot plays out. I have read two other books by this author and they were quite intense. I did shed a tear or two reading this one. Hit a bit close to home for me. I'm here, Dad."
