“IN every classroom in Israel there is a map,” says Nadav Weiman. “But it is a map without any green line and without any names of Palestinian villages or towns. Between the river to the sea, it’s only Israel.”
Weiman is the executive director of Breaking the Silence, an organisation of veteran Israeli soldiers who have served in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem since September 2000, who seek peace and an end to the Israeli occupation.
Before leading Breaking the Silence, Weiman was a history teacher and before that, he was a sniper in the IDF. The green line refers to the internationally recognised “pre-1967” borders between Israel, the West Bank and Gaza that have been erased from official Israeli maps.
