A reservist IDF officer has launched a new kind of battle, this one on the Internet, Israeli news site nrg reported on Monday.

Major (ret.) Amit Deri has spearheaded a video campaign against “Breaking the Silence,” a group of Israeli veterans whose call to “end the Occupation” is often criticized for its exaggerated criticism of the Jewish state.

The video-gone-viral that was released last week, called “The Collection of Lies,” depicts a tour of Breaking the Silence activists in Hebron.

It shows one of the organization’s leaders, Avner Gvaryahu, telling a small group of British tourists about Israeli “soldiers using machine guns and hitting civilian centers in Hebron.”

Gvaryahu also describes IDF soldiers — annoyed at having to miss an important soccer match — breaking into a Palestinian-owned apartment with a satellite dish, blindfolding its occupants and watching the game on their TV. “This happens whenever there is an important game on television,” claims Gvaryahu.
