Israels soldiers and settlers especially and systematicly target women. The victims nearly never dare to report the atrocities. This woman here in Hebron testified to the Israeli newspaper "Haaretz". It required outstanding bravery to do this!

"Rabbis for human rights" will not be silent about the rape of Palestinians. They call out the "brutal sexual abuse of male and female Palestinians by Israels prison guards, soldiers, settlers and interrogators." They say: "These heinous acts fly in the face of our laws and our values."

Fatah boasts about the resistance, saying ‘We lead the field, we and we’ — that’s the extent of Fatah’s role in the popular resistance, according to their Eighth Congress. Twenty-one activists, twelve of whom have no connection to grassroots work, were simply added to the list. 1/2

It was not a single incident. It happened to me many times. And it happens to a lot of other Palestinians too! To my neighbors! The Settlers do not only act with impunity, but with the active support of the military and the government. Now that the world is looking to Iran, they feel emboldended.

The sight of workers trying to smuggle goods in a rubbish bin is truly heartbreaking, but what drove them to such desperation is the real issue. A failed labour leadership and a leadership incapable of finding alternatives; we are like orphans at the tables of the wicked. 1/2
