Dotan Greenvald, a 25-year-old former Israeli soldier and member of an Israeli veteran’s organization called Breaking the Silence, will show photos and talk about his experience serving in the Occupied Territories, on Thursday, March 13, 2008, at 7:00 pm. The program, which is free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by the Rhode Island Chapter of Brit Tzedek v’Shalom (the Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace), and by the Development Studies Program and Middle East Studies Program at Brown University.

Formed in 2004, Breaking the Silence is an organization of veteran Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers working to shed light on the moral, human and social price paid by both Palestinians and Israelis for the IDF’s actions in the occupied territories.
