IDF Eran Efrati Story
Eran Efrati - Russell Tribunal 2014 - 24/09
Re killing of Palestinian civilian Salem Shamaly by an Israeli sniper during Operation Protective Edge:
Eran Efrati, a former IDF soldier speaking to the Russell Tribunal about the killing of a Palestinian boy after 13 Golani Brigade soldiers were killed in one day, 7 in an armoured vehicle, on July 19, 2014.
18:00 "...it was a revenge attack. It has nothing to do with the security of people in Israel... it was revenge of the death of soldiers. [as a former soldier] you are not ready for resistance. Nobody can resist you...it's not the killing... we are ready to die...it's the insult... these people who are supposed to be under our full control are willing to raise their head in resistance and that is something that is not acceptable to us...
