Active Voice Radio Interview Remix #5: American Jews in the IDF

This is the story of an incident that is replicated countless times, of an IDF soldier detaining a Palestinian family at gunpoint. But this "minor incident" was the catalyst for an epiphany inthe soldier.

Original raw interview was recorded by Cheryl Davis in September 2004. Cheryl passed it on to Active Voice Radio and it was aired, in entirety, on the program. Matt Milstein and Danny Kirchbaum discussed their experiences in Israel and impressions of the US in the series: 'American Jews in the IDF' on Active Voice Radio in February 2004 .

Matt Milstein is an American Jewish young man who was serving at the time of the interview, in the Israeli Defense Force. He originally wrote about this experience in an Albuquerque Jewish publication. Milstein is now a freelance journalist and photographer.

This 'remix' is offered as a self-contained piece.

Scored with Mazzy Star and Kruder & Dorfmester it could be used in many formats especially Free-Form.

Review of American Jews in the IDF: One Day at the Border Crossing

This is an excellent piece, very simply made, about the mundane dehumanization that happens to soldier and civilian in any militarized system. I wish I could play this for all the young people I know in my small, poor, rural area who are planning to join the military when they get out of high school. My sincere thanks to this producer for sharing his experience, and his insightful reflection upon that experience. It is so relevant to the problem of terrorism. I have heard the results of a psychological study of suicide bombers. The main thing they had in common was the experience of witnessing one of their parents being humiliated by the 'other side'.

Review of American Jews in the IDF: One Day at the Border Crossing

This is a worthwhile piece, a story about one "minor incident" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The storyteller, an American Israeli Defense Force soldier, inconveniences, humiliates and probably frightens a couple of Palestinian civilians, a father and son, by holding them at a checkpoint to relieve his own boredom. He later regrets his actions and writes about the incident in his hometown Jewish newspaper, prompting responses of denial that even such a routine act of dehumanization could happen in the Israeli occupation. The soldier's monologue is placed over accompanying music. This by-now-familiar device is effective, though at times the music gets monotonous and could stand to change or go away. The piece may not be easy for stations to place, given its length. It could work as a set-up to a talk show about the Middle East conflict or the Israeli occupation.
