This paper analyzes testimonies taken from Israeli soldiers by the organization “Breaking the Silence,” focusing on the interaction between the screening mechanisms of perpetrator's language, which split between the overt reporting of actions and the deep recognition of their meaning—and what we call “the function of the inner witness,” which operates against these mechanisms. Three types of transformation, allowing a move from turning one's back to looking things in the eye, are described by means of three types of confrontation: the confrontation between one perpetrator and another; the confrontation between perpetrator and witness; and the confrontation between perpetrator and victim.

内部证人在打断加害者语言筛选机制中的作用

本文分析了“打破沉默”组织从以色列士兵那里获取的证词，重点分析了肇事者语言的筛选机制之间的相互作用，即公开报道行动和深刻理解其意义——以及我们所说的“内在见证的功能”，它对这些机制起作用。三种类型的转变，允许从转身到直视事物的转变，通过三种类型的对抗来描述：一个肇事者与另一个肇事者之间的对抗；肇事者与证人之间的对抗；以及肇事者与受害者之间的对抗。
