The tradition of Israeli soldiers telling an alternative narrative to the official, hagiographic accounts goes allthe way back to 1949. Then, shortly after the end of the War of Independence, S. Yizhar’s novella “KhirbetKhizeh” – the semifictional retelling of the banishment of inhabitants of an Arab village – was published. Itwas the first of a handful of subversive books and articles told or written by soldiers, revealing the lessglorious aspects of Israel’s wars. And while they were always in a minority, they were neverthelessaccepted as part of mainstream culture . . .So why, if it is merely continuing an Israeli tradition, is Breakingthe Silence causing such controversy now?
