For the last four weeks, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been engaged in massive protests along the Israeli border. Israel has responded with force, killing at least 40 Palestinians (including two journalists) and wounding thousands. B’Tselem, a Jerusalem-based nonprofit documenting Israeli human rights violations, recently called on IDF soldiers to refuse orders to shoot demonstrators. On episode 6 of Deconstructed, B’Tselem’s executive director, Hagai El Ad, joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss the border violence and the broader situation in Palestine. And Avner Gvaryahu, former Israeli paratrooper and executive director of Breaking the Silence, a group which documents the stories of IDF soldiers about their activities in the occupied territories, talks about his own time as a soldier in the West Bank.
