Dear Mr Binyamini - Here is what I posted when I share you article. I don't usually publish my comments. But I respect you enough as a journalist....to feel that you also need to get some things right. "Unfortunately he (that's you) has all his facts right. I agree with the terms of his letter regarding the history of Hebron....except on one issue - his views regarding the Breaking the Silence organization. It has been founded by soldiers who do not lie. What they describe is what they saw and, tragically, still see - that our soldiers are too often used to help maintain an impossible situation that has lasted for too long by the leaderships on both sides. They want to stop that - for themselves and for their children's future. I don't unconditionally agree with the strategy of Breaking the Silence and often wish they realized that their allies are not always really interested in peace and have a one-sided, unfair and dangerous approach - more often than not rooted in antisemitism. But I think Mr Binyamini should ask himself whether his own one-sided views of Human Right Organizations is correct and helpful. Could he not have published the facts...without adding his subjective and unbalanced view of Breaking the Silence?" I hope you will see fit to reply. Thank you for your attention.
